Beautiful light, beautifully framed. The light, color and composition are brilliant in this photograph. I like the fact that the bride is not poised.

Stunning, evocative light and a great expression on the woman makes this picture so successful. There is just enough detail in the shadows to add information without taking away from the great energy in the center of the frame. The shadow of the head cast on the woman just adds to the tension and mystery of the frame. A really nice moment.

This is like a dream. The light on the girls face and on the flower is perfect.

I love the way the candles stand at attention like soldiers at a coronation and lead the eye right to the kissing couple. Beautiful light all around, and lots of interesting details to explore in the faces and expressions of the onlookers. The technical quality of the image is not superb, but the framing and moment and light all work well.
