This image was stunning, both compositionally and great use of light. It was a pleasant surprise your client will enjoy. The unique perspective of the first dance made this image stand out. Great job.

The man's face expresses pure, unmitigated joy, and the slightly tilted horizon helps capture the celebration's frenzied jubilation.

What a beautiful moment: the clasped hands, touching foreheads and pure joy of the couple's smiles, complemented by the big smile of the man at the right and the look of the woman at left towards a friend? Her husband? A tightly composed image of happiness.

This is clearly a Marx Brothers wedding moment.

Yes, it is a little raunchy but I really liked it- this picture made me laugh. And the photographer had to do a little footwork to know this was going to happen. It is good to see journalism skills at work- ask questions and try to watch body language- it makes spontaneous images easier to get. This photographer seems to understand that.

The blizzard of silly string and whatever else is flying through the air adds depth and perfectly enhances the bride's excitement. The big smile on the man with the camera in the background at right is a nice touch.

Excellent use of color and light to create a mood. I love the inclusion of the hand in the right corner- crucial in making this picture work- nice eye for composition.
