Too cheesy? Not in my opinion. Beautiful!

I love it, we all love it. However, did the bride's mother like it? Why I don't do wedding photography.

Another thumbs up. I agree with the post above about details. It rounds out the story of the wedding day.

Very good image and I generally agree with the comments ... except I would liked to have seen her eyes.

I like it. But I'm not paying the bill. The real question is "does the bride like it?"

I think it's Cheesy......
Was it worth taking ? You get a chance to see if it this type of shot works or not and explore other possibilities for similar shots in the future .
The image does not stand up to the rest of your work and that is why you may sense that it is cheesy ... I only make these comments after looking at the images you showcase on your site ,which are excellent . There is something there that is worth exploring but this image is just a starting point for something more . The image relies to much on blur and bokeh which gets in the way of the beautiful bride .
You have an image of a couple lying head to head on the ground with the left and right side blurred .... Found that image interesting as it did not fit with your style yet worked well for a wedding image ,which in this context I liked it very much ,it was a great idea that worked . I wonder if you had any reservations about this image ?
Hope this is taken in the context of a conversation .... I usually am hesitant about posting comments ... but I enjoyed your images and would like to hear from you more about why you think this mage may or may not work as you clearly have doubts .

Assuming that it's accompanied by other shots which show the face in focus, it's great!
LOL, at least you didn't go for that recently-trendy selective color on that one.  |

Did the bride think it was cheesy? That's the most important thing. Secondly, did you think it was too cheesy?
That's all that matters...

I would not call it "cheezy", but, standing on its own, it does not work for me (then again, I am not your customer  ) In a package of other shots, this would be fine.
Her face is relaxed and dreamlike (as is the softness) but her posture is tense, and that throws off my impression of what this moment really is about. |

Not cheesy, but a bit too contrived, especially in the context of many of your other wedding images (great stuff!).

come on. Nothing is too cheesy for a wedding picture.
Or, equivalently, all weddign pictures are cheesy (at least the ones that won't cause the bride killing the photographer)

If it's going to be THE wedding picture, then you're missing something fairly important. Namely a groom. However, as part of an album, it's beautiful. Keep it!

pherdinand is correct: cheese is a big part of wedding photos.
