The lady in the last photo looks timeless but her husband gives her away with his look. The clothes are beautiful, but the last photo is my favourite with the clothes.

I love the color in the first sevral shots, but the simple white sheen in the last one is probably my favorite. Very striking shots.

Thanks to all Wordless Wednesday participants for your visits and kind compliments. It was a real wedding amongst many during my visit to Meiji Jingu. I witnessed 5 or 6 wedding processions within 2 hours.

Hi rmgales, I would recommend a Nikon D60 with the kit lens if you are just starting up. :)
