What a wonderful, real moment that captures the adult concern with order and a child's innocence. Great body language and expression on the man holding the girl back. A minor quibble: that sliver of a chin on the man at right is distracting .. why not crop it out?

Just a good case of seeing and capturing fleeting expressions.

I truly get the feeling this father is adding up the expenses as the wedding goes on. Good to see the photographer turning around and getting more of the ceremony than just the bride and groom- and he/she saw humor. There are so many great quiet moments that get overlooked by photographers at these events- it is good to see someone paying attention.

I liked the depth in this one. I liked how everyone is staggered coming down the stairs and not in one straight line, and how you don't have to see all of the bride for this to work.

It is a nice 'moment' shot as the pride adores and is proud of her new husband.

A wonderfully intimate look of love within the bride.

Another amusing shot of bride and groom with an adoring entourage of future children?

There's something uplifting about witnessing a wedding ceremony in front of a nearly bare tree, its branches reaching out almost as if arms blessing the union (or am I getting too sappy, and should I say rather that its stark simplicity captures the sense of the unusual setting).
