Traditional ceremony photo is a cut above with the addition of the two celebrants framing the image. Good choice of lens here.

This is an enchanting photo with excellent use of color and framing. Would have loved to see the couple's feet however. The warm tones and the beatific moment give this image a very cinematic feel.

The bride and groom are in the photo, but the shapes represent them in this photograph from the recessional. Wonderful vision by the photographer. A great catch! love the legs coming out of nowhere. Beautifully done. Super wide angle can often be distracting, but it is effective here. Fun moment. Unusual, spontaneous and fun. Here's an image you don't expect to see in a wedding album. Effervescent image. Bouncing with life and joy of the moment.

Every bride's worry, a rainy wedding day. Produced a moody environmental image however. The bright umbrellas in contrast to the monochrome palette of the drizzle is effective.

An epitome of the look of love. So much emotion bursting from his face for his bride. Extremely heartfelt image.

It is always nice to see a different point of view from an event we have witnessed many time before.

I find this graceful detail intriguing. I can’t help wanting to know more. Protective gesture of what appears to be father of the bride feels very sensitive and tender.

A touching moment from a wedding. I can almost hear the laughter from looking at the image.
