We’ve all been to a wedding where someone makes a diving leap for the bouquet, but this is an exceptional photo of the attempt – terrific moment and body language.

I like the angle from the front of the bride. I like capturing the moment of release and it works well coupled with the expression on her face.

I really enjoy seeing the entire crowd involved in this and at the same time being able to clearly see the bouquet. Really well done.

Just the right amount of blur to get a sense of motion, and the timing and look on the bride’s face really draws you in.

A classic moment of reaching for the bouquet but the composition and light make the photograph extraordinary – a very nice triangle formed by the bouquet and reaching arms of the women.
