Hi Bruce ... The first thing that stands out is the light ... it's gorgeous and you've captured it well. The look on the bride's face, the way she's holding the flower is all just about perfect. However, there's a big flaw in the pic, and that's the lack of detail in her gown down at the bottom. It seems to detract and perhaps even ruin the way you've caught the light in the rest of the photo.
I don't quite get where she's sitting. It appears she's sitting on the fence. It appears a bit awkward for a bridal portrait. My first reaction is that her sitting on the fence indicates that she's unsure about being married: should she or shouldn't she ... only her photographer knows for sure (paraphrasing an old hair coloring commercial). Perhaps you can explain her seating a bit. Still, even with my being critical, I ~do~ like the photo.
