This photo is an exquisite combination of excellent seeing, anticipation and luck. The low angle and wide view for context are populated by so many wonderful people and actions. Of course the girl jumping is what most animates the image, but the girl running behind her holding up her dress, the man at far right taking a photo, the girl way in the back on the fountain eating and drinking ... all work to make it a magic moment that's so much more than a couple dancing

This picture was quite funny. I loved the expression on the couples' faces. They actually look horrified. Good moment captured by the photographer.

Looks to me like these are the parents of one of them and are pleased as punch their offspring got married. Nice moment.

The bride and groom are inside the decisive moment at the right time.

It's simply funny and unexpected. One would wish they were a little closer together and that the dark edge on the right wasn't there, but those are minor quibbles.

I loved the graphic appeal of this small, but fun event- the wind blowing the veil away. Nice moment and good to see the photographer following through.

I'm hoping the moment is truly candid, and assuming it is the groom's expression is priceless as what was undoubtedly supposed to be a quiet portrait was unexpectedly animated by a gust of wind.

Just a nice reaction picture. It is not shot particularly well- it is too loose- I would crop on the right side. I wished for a different lens! But it is that peak expression that makes it a top choice.
