Fantastic! Great capture, feels like we're intruding on a very private moment! That's what good photography does, I think. Let's us in where we wouldn't otherwise be. Alisha, this is just really beautiful . . . we'll see this again!

Alisha you were born to do Wedding photography!! Your work amazes me more and more everytime I see new images!! I just can't tell you how good I think you really are, it's beyond words!!
I do have a question...can the lensbaby effect be ran in elements?
