Great photo. The subtle tones are wonderful. I love the way kids just do their own thing when everything around them is manic.

I feel like that kid a lot of the time.. lol

Ah – the Kate Blanchet cameo side profile! This is a great use of selective decolouring! Your focus and lighting of subjects with great highlights and tones makes your sister stand out over the blue pastels in the background. Nice.

Thanks everyone.
Ashley, wasn’t too sure about putting the blue in, was worried it might compete too much with my sister (being the main subject), thought the blue might help lead the eye to my little one looking out the window…

No, the blue works well..

Wow – fantastic image, the whole thing is full of life with loads going on. What a beautiful bride. The child looking out at the view just really tops off this shot, gives that wonderful sense of childlike disinterest – Awesome work.

excellent composition – so much to see!
the selective color works great and the kid looking out the window is a great contrast to the excited bride – very good work

It looks like the bride is really enjoying all that fussing, lol! Beautiful capture!

This is fantastic, love this image! I agree that the blue works so well! Excellent shot and work!

This is wonderful – love the blue and the child in the background. Beautiful shot!

excellent wedding shot

this is really beautiful – so full of life and joy and i just love the little boys reaction – priceless!!!

This is beautiful, I really love your portrait work. You are very talented at capturing emotional shots.

Excellent black and white, great work.. you have a gorgeous eye and great talent.

wonderful expression (watch the light)

i love this nicole….........lovely and soft and a great bride’s expression.

I love this .. it is brilliant! Well done.

Very nice photo a beautiful look captured on brides face very well done.

Great capture…..she’s going to love them when you’re done!:)

This is fantastic Nicole… and I can see why it would be your favourite! Such a great subject and then to se your son, completely oblivious to it is excellent! Love the processing here and the selective colouring outside work very well. Great stuff!

This is perfect, all the elements add up to one of the best wedding images I’ve seen.

both beautiful images

she is stunning, such a lovely photo. also the boy looking out to the view will make a nice photo in itself.

captured the moment.

Gorgeous!

Wonderful ‘of’ the moment’ shot Nicole. You’ve captured the nervous energy well! In my experience of weddings, you little creature is doing the usual man thing…....shutting it out and thinking ‘lemme know when its done….and when and where do I have to be?’ its in our genetic code dontcha know! LOL

Full of joy and happiness, a very natural looking photo Nicole.
I enjoy going over your wedding work from time to time, you have a great style of shooting
and capturing the moment which isn’t easy to do.

a wonderful shot great expression, the natural light, and the little fella in the background is a nice added touch.

Your shots are so inspirational Nicole. I only hope I can do half as good a job as you’ve done here and in the other wedding shots when my brother finally ties the knot :o)

You have such a great story happening here – the essence of a great shot (not just a photo-representation).
