Meet Andy & Crystal From Tennesee!
Not only did this wonderful light come out to us on our TrekMeet, but we noticed a couple at the railing, saying their vows! Silke saw them first and took off toward them...I followed second. We just started shooting.
We had such a marvelous time and our prints have been sent and Silke I got to shoot our FIRST wedding together and didn't even know we were doing it!
See the next frame to the left for Silke's Shot!, as the couple walks back away from the Falls. Or you can click here for Silke’sVersion

Hello Linda,

I hope the cold wasn't driving the to the edge!!!
The composition and light are very good! I imagine the couple were thrilled by your photographs and your company!

A classic romantic shot Linda,
Amazing light here that you captured on the water
and reflected on the ground.
A proud achievement no doubt.
Great work! - Vincent

After viewing Silke's shot I get to see the other side. What a nice way to display the after the vows. The immensity of the falls, the fog, the reflection from the sun, and this couple looking so small against this fabulous scenery.
Fantastic shot Linda.
Dot

Hi Linda,

I have heard saying young couples "My love for you will last till the water falls in Niagra" and water never stops but their love fades out - lol.

A beautiful shot in an angular shunlight specially illlumination of the subject in the reflective glow, smart descion of timing. Brilliant idea my friend, well done.

Thanks for sharing this image.

You girls saved this brides wedding memory. Real TL attitude. You two should consider a business.

Very pleasing image with the power of the falls as a backdrop - nice lighting in this capture.

Too bad you captured their backside, Linda... it would have been a terrific shot had they walked towards you. Now, it's just a "good" shot ;o). I love the golden glow in the reflections, and how you captured the water of the falls.
Excellent work. TFS

Hello Linda,

Very interesting composition, showing together the beauty of nature and such a wonderful event. Excellent colours and light you captured. TFS

Best regards,

Hi Linda,
Good synchronism with Silke's posting!
Very interesting to see the back of the scene!
I am amazed by the beauty of the golden light and the opportunity you had to catch this wedding! Excellent composition with the couple so close to the falls! Probably, it does not know that it receives as much the attention on TL. Beautifully done! Annie

I just love the moment captured here Linda. the lovely colour in the falls and the special light to give the nice glow to the area they are walking in. I am sure this would be a treasure for them.
Warm Regards
Wanda

Hello Linda!
I like your perspective, too!
I just saw Silke picture!
Great colours and lovely reflexion!
Perfect clarity!
Best regards!
Lili

Lovely work Linda! The light in this shot works so well, a subtle layer of gold-green-gold in diagonal elements across the frame, with the couple placed just left-enough of centre for it to feel right.

Hi Linda

Two heads are better than one, & in 2 ways here. Fisrt, you & silke (with interesting interpretations of the same subject), & secondly, the married couple. Wonderful color & sharpness. Tfs!

Lve the colours Linda and well composed. Brave folf for being married in that spot and in Winter. TFS,
David

Great view Linda !
lovely idea with the couple walking/looking away from the viewer as opposed to the more usual. The golden light on the floor and reflections there are interesting !
