1st Place: Marine Fonteyne from Rio de Janeiro, BrazilJudges Comments
PHOTO CAPTION BY BRIDES MAGAZINE: His turn in the spotlight momentarily over, the young ring bearer takes a seat during the ceremony and succumbs to a yawn. The chubby-cheeked flower girl, still on the job (notice how she clutches her bouquet) glances at him with bewilderment—how could he be bored? Fonteyne took this shot at the kids' eye level, the better to capture their viewpoint.

This little boy's playful position makes us wonder if he is the only one there. The neutral colors help draw the viewer to notice his tiny legs flailing about.

A moment we all know too well. Children like to do what they want when they want. It's great seeing the bride and groom laughing.

This picture shows how tiny kids can be. Seeing the bride's shoes and gown helps give the idea of environment; all the while the little boy is in his own world.

The contrast in this picture is fabulous. The center point is the little girl who seems so much tinier compared to all the large pews. The lighting helps draw our eyes to her.

Your eyes go straight to this handsome little fellow. You can never be too cool for a blanket, especially when rocking those awesome shades.

8th Place: Yvonne Wong from Washington, United StatesJudges Comments
This photograph is full of great symbolism. The child lays softly asleep on the woman's shoulder where angel wings watch over her.
