This frame grabbed me instantly because it's so in your face. The expression on the two guy's faces couldn't be more different but more telling.

Way to get in so close by the photographer and make the most of that expression! This is a fabulous moment of fun and excitement.

That smile says it all. This was a simple moment with well-balanced light but the subject’s incredible expression seals the deal.

Very well composed and the background helps to make a very good image.

The bride’s head thrown back and laughter is palpable in this picture. Set among the reception scene, seeing all of the friends and family react, it really is a fabulous take on the moment.

Powerful moment shot with a simple and clean composition. The photographer really captured an intimate and intense moment here. We feel like we are right there with them. Bravo!

Good timing for the photographer. The composition is perfect. The groom is doing some jokes with his friends for sure, but we don’t know if the bride is celebrating the joke.

Nice moment and composition. Nothing to add or criticize.

This image really captures the joy between this couple. The out of focus quality of the image works well here and doesn't feel like a technical malfunction but rather serves to convey the feel of the couple at that time. You don't feel the photographer's presence at all in this picture. Great photojournalism.

This shared moment between the two women is just lovely. The photographer’s distance to the women and lens choice make this picture close enough to really capture the intimacy of the moment but the photographer also creates a clean and lovely composition.

As a dog lover, I was instantly drawn to this frame. Such a sweet moment shared between bride and her best friend. I love the small detail of the dog being under the veil with her.

Such a powerful expression. It is a simple photo. Nothing fancy here, just a solid moment, really paying careful attention to expressions and emotion. The strong backlight works really well here. Excellent image.

Judges Comments

The tightness of this frame captures small details like the wetness of the bride's eyes and the wrinkles on her mother/grandmother's (assumed) face. I love the idea of capturing a moment shared between generations.

Judges Comments

The moment between the bride and groom is fantastic in this picture and the father (?) and others add supporting additional layers of enthusiasm that make this a very nice picture.

Judges Comments

Very funny moment. The problem that I don’t like, and I saw it in several entries, is the use of the fish eye.

Judges Comments

A fairly standard view at a wedding but so well done! The photographer really captured the groom so well and the long row of groomsmen sharing in the moment completes the whole picture. Not easy to choose to photograph the groom in the big moment but it paid off well here.

Judges Comments

Father/daughter (assumed) moments are always precious and this one seems so tender and private. I love that the photographer took the time to look away from the action to find this quite moment on the periphery.
