    number 1 but I'd also think about cropping some off the left.
    Keep Shooting!

    #1 definitely. i really like your lighting by the way. From what i seen, this isn't usual in the wedding photography takes. I like it.

    Re: Which one do you prefer

    My vote is for number one. I like the lighting on the bride and the idea for the picture also. For me there is waaay too much extra space and I believe both would be much better with a serious crop on each. Just my opinion, Jeff

    Looking at them just the way they are right now, I like #2, but I think #1 would be better if you decide to crop them.

    Thank you for sharing.

    #2 with a doubt. I don't like all of the sky in the first one.
    It's not blurry. It's bokeh.

    Re: Which one do you prefer

    #2 by a huge margin. There's great interplay between the negative space and the way she's looking. The contrast between her vertical form and the horizontal framing helps create an area of interest on the left side of the frame that's balanced by the trees on the right.

    The first frame is very bottom heavy, there's no balance whatsoever.

    Next time, watch your backgrounds. Both frames suffer from the bride's hair blending in with the tree.

    How to tell the most experienced shooter in a group? They have the least amount of toys on them.

    Re: Which one do you prefer

    Thank you for your thought and these are a few shot quickly take right before the actual wedding take place and the bride as you all know usually take awhile to get her thing done and the sun gone very rather fast so, as I toll her it was dark out and she ask me that I'm late for the shoot with a not so excited. Feeling bad for the situation I told her to come out anyway I got some shot in mine that you would love to see.

    I like #1 but agree you should crop a little off the left so the bride is "looking into" the photo as opposed to so centered.
