Nice juxtaposition in the series. Ah, some good old street photography - literally and figuratively! The third picture in the sequence is such a beautiful moment, capturing the bride and groom in a picture which may suggest how they met or how down to earth they see themselves. Knowing your subject before the wedding can give you inspiration for ideas that make your coverage even more special.

A riot! Great expressions on the last frame made this series really stand out. The third picture in the sequence reveals a hilarious truth about posing for wedding pictures. It peels away the glamour of the bright eyes and toothy smiles and makes one say, "How do fashion models smile for hours at a time?!"

This sequence speaks beyond simple wedding photography, especially in photos 2 and 3, and becomes a moment about self-awareness. Excellent work by the photographer to stick with the subject after the typical make-up shot and capture something more profound. The best work clearly stood out in this weak category that has great potential, rarely realized.

Another sweet moment! I love how the dog's tongue is sticking out in the first picture and how he wants to be part of the action. Moments like these make the memories of the event even sweeter. This slurpry dog kiss was obviously unsuspected.
Photographer's Comment
Nothing like a kiss'n lab to make things really happy. This was a film capture, totally unexpected, and I still love the feeling of film. If you don't believe me just look at those kids faces! OMG!

Great storytelling. You really see the girl trying to grow up in the three pictures given. She "looks", "thinks" and then "does".
