What makes this image is the tie adjustment. He is trying to be the perfect groom.

I love fun, and this is FUN! I couldn't stop coming back to this image.

Out of the ordinary and a great spontaneous moment!

Terrific expression really sells the concept here.

This was another one of those pictures that just stayed with me after looking at these over the week. I always came back to it.. It is just…funny! It says to me – the day is ALL about the bride. I would have loved a shot like this from my own wedding. Nice sense of humor from the photographer AND the bride.

The best portraits incorporate creativity with an accurate portrayal of the subjects. This image does this beautifully, and simply. It proves that the subjects do not need to be large in the frame to make an image that they will appreciate.

Again, our subjects are small in this frame, but are certainly the focus. This portrait will bring them back to their special day, and speaks volumes of the place where their vows were exchanged.

It takes just the right couple to pull this off, and just the right photographer to recognize the opportunity. I've seen this done poorly many times before, and this one works.

You’re doing great when you can get a bride to go sledding in her dress! Great moment with a tilted frame that works well.

This is that thinking-outside-the –box-but-in-the-door-frame picture. The technical execution is nice- no reflections.

This is beautiful. Great that the photographer stepped back to include that windswept tree and rock.

Beautiful, graphic photo. I liked the color palette a lot.

Funny courthouse shot. I liked the idea and it could have taken some convincing to get this shot!

I love this image and how the bride and groom live within it. Simplicity is the key to this beautiful portrait.

Talk about unusual. A clever way to frame the wedding party. I think it’s a great photograph. I’m wondering what the party thinks of the combination of gowns and suits among industrial sized cement blocks.

Lovely light, great location; just not enough to push to the top.
