2010 BRIDES Magazine Photo Contest: 8th place Bride and Groom

JUDGES COMMENTS: There were a number of wonderful champagne-popping photos, but this one had a little extra bit of interest to it. Lovely evening light lit the groom and part of the bride. The angle of the shot cleans the background and shows off his coat tail as he shook the champagne violently. Cool image. I like the mysterious mood created by the couple contrasting body language and low angle.
