Taken at my cousin's wedding during their vows.

Is there a way to soften the lighting in post a bit? There was no way to bounce a flash in there and I had to shoot at 150 mm with the flash on zoom to get this shot so a diffuser was out of the question..

I wish I had the answer...I'm a rookie. The up close, personal comp really makes you feel her "tears of joy"
Hopefully others will venture along with technical advice. Good to see you back in...

I have been using Lightroom lately, and I just upped the recovery slider and moved the "lights" slider down a bit. Maybe I went a bit too far.

Not sure what software you're using Jaedon, but I use Paint shop pro and under color>adjust there are a bunch of tools.
In this case, I'd try the highlight/midtone/shadow tool as it allows you to tone down the bright spots without effecting the darker parts. Alternatively you could go to effects>automatic color balance and warm the thing up a bit. I'm positive Photoshop has similar tools, I just don't know the names of them.
