Really nice found moment in the chaos of getting ready for the big day. Just a wonderful Americana image. The lovely color adds to this moment. I liked that I did not feel the photographer's presence at all.

Nice composition. Good use of the arms and dress to frame the moment in the mirror. The angle on this picture was nice. The patient bride while people fuss about her. I would have like to have seen the bridesmaids face on the right. Minor but would have liked it.

What a lovely simple moment, full of quiet emotion, and totally different to any other entry.

An unexpected picture, unexpected angle made this picture set apart from the others. You generally see a bride putting a dress on the from outside, but rarely inside. Composition worked well and it was just fun.

Another beautiful and very real moment and nothing says "getting ready" better.

Another beautiful, real moment full of joy enhanced by the almost confetti like reflections. The photographer really captured the connection between the subjects. Liked the color and scattered reflecting light too. Well done.

Fun moment

Photographer's Comment

Sometimes timing is everything. This last second 'refresher' on the way out the door creates an unforgettable moment that an untrained eye or slower observer would have missed.

I love the painterly quality of this photograph with its elegant composition.
