Although perhaps not able to boast as the cleanest of images, this photograph is just simply wonderful! All of the elements combined - the lipstick already on the forehead, the women trying to get a picture through the gate, and of course the kiss - complete this spectacular moment. I can't help but chuckle every time I look at it.

This photograph takes an over-photographed situation and finds a new way to see it. Besides the visual grace of the lines in the photo, the narrative is there, too. I feel like I want to know what has happened, and what will happen. This photo proves that sometimes less is more, and that by showing a few things well a photographer can say more than by trying to include it all. Nicely done.

Some moments just can't be setup, and the expressions on the faces on these drinkers says it all, in a tightly composed frame. You can't help but relate to the feelings each of the people in this image are feeling. certainly not the traditional image one would want from their wedding, but one everybody would love to have.

This image a timeless quality, the composition fills the frame communicating information in an utterly artful way. The movement in the tie adds a lovely element of serendipity. Only the man in the right background staring at the photographer detracts from an otherwise lovely image.

Credit to the photographer for grabbing this image on the fly! Panning can be risky, but the technique sure pays off when it works. Well done. This is a well-balanced panned image with a sense of joy and humor. The exposed garter on her leg makes it all that much better.

Great seeing here. The photographer took a step back and brought a completely new image to the mix.

The walking umbrellas is a picture full of little pictures. In a way, it is the opposite of the simple photo of the bride being carried up the stairs. I want to keep looking; the hand on the shoulder, the head flung back in laughter, the forward anticipation of the man on the right. Full of mystery. I love it.

This image has a great quality to it, and all of the required elements are visible through the petals. A nicely balanced image, and a beautiful moment.
