The love in this woman's expression is genuine and the use of a long lens pulls you in so you can see the light bouncing off the tears in her eyes. Right to the point, well done.

This sweet and unexpected affection offers the perfect expression on a woman embarrassed, but most likely touched, by being the center of attention. A classic.

The emotion in this photo is palpable. Good composition directs the eye to the heart of the photo, the man's eyes.

Light, composition and the pure energy of joy are all present in this portrait of bride and groom along the beach. This one almost jumps out at you.

Another quiet moment, this time in context of a crowd. Bubbles are nice, magical touch. Soft light, bubbles, clean background and emotion of the couple come together to look like the ending of a romance movie.

Terrific moment between bride and (likely) mother with great body language and interaction both expressions and hands makes for a powerful and memorable image.
