    • What a fun moment. The photographer did a great job capturing the personality of this fun loving, easy going couple. I mean, take notice of the flip flop sandals that the bride is wearing. I think this photograph would have been even better if the groom's hand wasn't cropped off on the lower left corner of the frame. Everything is symmetrical with the composition except that for that little element. I also would have like to have seen a little more detail on the whites. It's blown out and a little distracting. But overall, a very fun moment.

    • Composition and capturing the action made this fun moment work.
    • Nothing like a little spontaneous jig to spice up the day. Good job catching the bride in mid-air. The bride’s unbridled joy contrasts nicely with the upright formality of the bagpiper.
