This is a surprising, fun and energetic picture that projects energy into the future for the couple. It's like they are sitting above the city. I enjoy pictures that transcend the actual scene and this picture does just that. The reflection and light and placement of the couple floating above the city makes you think they are going to make it and be happy in their life and together they can take on anything.

Beautiful soft light on the couple and from the ceiling. The falling confetti gives this photo a fairytale-like feel and transports the couple to a world of their own.

What a fantastic display for a reception! The couple are framed beautifully by the pillars, leading lines of smoke and fireworks and the table setting below is a nice touch. Splendid composition and light.

I love the groom's expression looking at his bride in total awe. That and the strong light make this picture completely successful. Many pictures at weddings and in this contest are fun and light and good shots but don't stand out emotionally like this picture

The photographer made use of interesting and beautiful content, backing off to give this frame some space all around, creating a sense of the environment and letting the chandelier do the work.

Nice mood and lighting. The guy on the far left seems odd though--maybe toning problems?

This is the best garter photo i've ever seen. You know exactly what's going on without having to see everything. And its lit cleanly

Cracks me up--the looks on their faces and the funny photog in the back. Good job paying attention to what's going on between portraits.
