I think the light pole works in this picture. It fills some of the negative space in the sky and gives a counterpoint to the dress. Makes it look like it might be helping to light her (even though there is no rim light on that side). It would be nice if the pole were vertical though.
If I were going to crop it, I'd cut out most of the concrete wall on the left and crop close to the dress without clipping it out. The way she is standing, she's looking back into the frame, and you can imagine that she's waiting for her groom to come walking in from the right.
