Great dramatic lighting on car and couple make this one standout. Veil blowing in the wind is a great bonus. Great light and wonderful ephemeral moment with the wind in the veil.

The couple napping build empathy for the day's full range of more dramatic emotions. Priceless moment.

The compositional juxtaposition makes it. Beautiful moment in the rear view mirror. It's been done before but sometimes there's nothing wrong with dusting off an old cliche. Reminds me of a classic Elliott Erwitt photograph. The picture captures a sense of anticipation before the lips completely touch and the reflection in the mirror adds to a feeling of a separateness from the ordinary work-a-day life that exist outside the car.

Great energy in the limo. Ah, the pure joy of having your friends by your side on the most special day of your life. Moments like these sweeten in your memory as you get older.

The photo works for its classic nature, with terrific expression. Sweet and lovely color. The style of the bride's dress really makes this picture.

This shows a natural, candid and real moment. Plus it's tender and sweet. Nicely composed too.

The photographer was smart to back off, showing that any environment is right if the couple is in love. Great way to really include the town atmosphere in the picture. A slight crop on the right would have made the picture a tad stronger.

COMMENTS: Very fun moment. I like the feeling of them escaping into the woods.

Witty and unconventional, a wedding party devoid of the traditional trappings of glamour and style. Possibly a picture that says a lot more about the couple outside the wedding day than many others. I hope this is not set up. Can't imagine what a bride and groom are doing at an urban bus stop---but it's an unusual place for the very common picture of the couple smooching.
