Excellent photojournalism is about making beautiful images of wonderful moments. This image is a wonderful moment that perfectly captures the confusion on everyone's faces as they attempt to add the final detail to their wardrobes. I think an man who has ever been part of a wedding party could relate. The light is nice, and the composition works well.

The layers were lovely and there was a nice moment of the women and I liked how one was pregnant, one was holding her belly and then there was the bride. Truly good seeing!

The composition isn't as balanced, but the moment pulls this image up the list.

Beautiful light and composition. The light is a bit too harsh on the upper right, but the overall image is stunning.

The separation of light and dark in this image, and the shallow depth of field help to make the detail of the hands much more emphatic. I like this image because it speaks to the support of friends and loved ones on a a very special day. Simply a beautiful moment kept simple.

I love a quiet moment. The bride will cherish this picture. It is a shame when the photographer misses these important pictures, so kudos for being there.

You can feel the groom's nerves in this photo. Great moment, nice colors, fun angle.

This tiny bit of detail speaks so much to the multitude of thoughts that must race through a bride's mind on her wedding day. These fleeting moments take a keen eye to see and capture as they come and go during the frenzy of bridal party preparations.

Fun angle and use of lens. We all know what is happening even though the only sharp thing is her hands.

We are not sure if he is mourning the loss of his daughter or what the wedding just cost him. Either way, nice quiet moment and good layering to help emphasize he is having a moment to himself.
