Great moment where the entire frame is not only filled and layered...there's actually something interesting and different going on. Bravo

Wonderful moment. The frame and its edges are well used and all the elements lead your eye to the center and the beautiful bride in a state of near ecstasy.

A different kind of a picture of a reception is rare. This is the way a reception appears to an apparent outsider. The young woman appears questioning, detached, sucking absentmindedly on her lollipop.

This is a really beautiful moment. I love the innocent expression on the grooms face, the moment between the bride and a guest (her mother?), and the surreal environment of the guests blowing bubbles. The black and white gives it a timeless feeling and the photographer uses the elements in the frame very well to tell a story.

Beautiful and romantic wedding picture, well done technically. I really like this image - it reminds me of a hitchcock movie.

Well framed, great expressions and with layers...plus you can't go wrong with fire especially when done as well as this.

Wonderful expression on the bride's face with a groom whose adventure is obviously only beginning. Nice focus on the couple while including enough other elements in the frame to tell a story. I can hear the bride's crazy laugh.

A photograph often attempted of the bride entering the reception. This one has a well-expressed exuberance that's rarely seen or felt.

Very enjoyable moment. Something spontaneous with humor and a great memory for the wedding couple....and done in complex backlight.

Beautiful composition with simplicity of form and lots of emotion in a very telling gesture.

Very funny moment that captures the expression and the mood. I like the way the hands on either side of the frame point me to the main characters and to the floating money which makes the moment. Feels a little William Albert Allard influenced and I can almost hear the music…
