Very well done Matt!!!!!

It may be too much or too busy... but what happens if you add an image of the couple of their first dance to the mix. May be in the lower left hand corner. Just a thought......telling a story within one page of work. Too cliche?

Know what, Matt? What if you put the violin on a diagonal and the rose somewhere else near the violin, like the lower half. Move the names on the opposite side of the diagonal.

Lovely piece! - it's very well executed but the composition could be more 'artistic' in arrangement, as bibit suggests, with the violin on a diagonal, the rose and the names to opposite sides....

There is a thread somewhere about composition, using grids and the 'rule of thirds' - you probably know them already but anyway....

....found it

I try, let me repeat that, I try to follow the "rule of third" on most of my photography, that being said, it didn't even come to mind when composing this, thanks for the heads up, something to work on tonight!!

Thanks everyone!!!

In my opinion, the image already conforms to the rule of thirds. The rose, the violin bridge, and the tuning knobs are all points of interest that lie closely to the intersections of the thirds.

If I had my wedding pictures done and was presented with an album like that, I would be in awe, showing it off to everyone I know and highly recommending the photographer

It's very unique to Billie & Don's special day. Great job!

Though, (just a few thoughts perhaps for another album ), if there was the image of the B&G during their first wedding dance, instead of the rose or violin. Or the profiles of the couple just before their first kiss up in the left ....

awwwwwwe...
