1st Place: Ronald Soliman from Delaware, United StatesJudges Comments
The look on the bride’s face is story telling. The bride is not happy with the rain and the photographer nailed it.

A pensive bride hiding in the car. Shot so beautifully through a car window.

3rd Place: Samo Rovan from Ljubljana, SloveniaJudges Comments
This photo has a good documentary feel to it. Even with the rain, the event goes on.

Great wind picture! Probably not a photograph that the attendees will purchase, but it does show the various ways that each is meeting the challenge of an uncomfortable windy day.

You can feel the heat in this photo as the bride slumps in the chair, hoping for whatever relief the fan can offer. The starkly contrasting shadows and highlights serve to intensify the feeling of suffocating heat.

I guess the ingenuity of the wedding party gets a great deal of the credit for this photograph, but the photograph does portray the effect of the weather on the wedding day. A good job to be there, stand back and make the picture.

The dancing boots are a smart and unexpected way to address the weather (and the feet without the boots look amusingly strange in context).

8th Place: Gerhard Nel from Zuid Holland, NetherlandsJudges Comments
This looks like Snow White's dwarves going to work. Great attitude on bride's face.

The photographer should have worked a bit closer to the subjects. It would have been great to see the smile on the bride’s face in spite of her weather hardship. Seeing the location is not important at this moment of the wedding day story.

Another example of a thinking photographer, capturing a storytelling moment that will add depth to coverage of the wedding day.

This weather photo is artfully shot. Including the entire scene along with the bride and groom chronicles the event perfectly.

The moment makes up for the technical deficiencies of the picture. The inverted umbrella, the dance-like pose of the woman trying to hold on to it and the wonderful expressions of the women watching her make the picture a great addition to the story of the wedding day.

Great colors. Surreal and magical at the same time. Nice work.
