My son and his new bride, a fairy tale come true. They met while she was working in the US as an aupair and continued their relashionship over the Atlantic Ocean for 3 years as she lived in Germany, he in Vermont. Finally their dreams came true as they married on May 27th, there wasn't a dry eye in the room as they danced their first waltz together. ( Even taking ballroom dancing classes so it was spectacular..)
There were a few lights in the background behind them but I added alot so it looked like they were dancing under the stars.

Thanks for looking at my gallery and your comments on my photos. I am off to Mrytle Beach, South Carolina tomorrow to visit family.

Truly outstanding capture of the moment, Donna!
The emotion is clear here, both yours and theirs.
Superb lights in the BG, and fabulous use of light on the subject (flash is always so tricky and you've mastered it!)
