A tender moment.....if he's not poking this man's eyes out, krav maga style. Distortion on the wide angle is a little unnerving. Almost as if the dad is being healed by his son. Nice play on the theme boys don't cry. This one says dads don't cry.

Usually wedding photographs are not shot this tight, but it captures all the emotion between a mother and the bride. Tight, emotional image. Beautiful tonal quality.

Sweet. Perfect timing. The little touch of the noses creates intimacy and shows the love of the mom for her daughter. Lovely moment. Looks like feminine bookends.

Sweet moment. The loosen tie is a nice detail.

Hugging photos are the most difficult to get at a wedding because they usually lack the needed emotion to pull them off. This one worked perfectly to capture the emotions of both parents toward the bride. The rose, the kiss and the wiping away of the tear make one great story-telling photo.

This is a photo that is rarely seen from weddings. Usually all the emphasis is on the bride at this point of the ceremony. Great job by the photographer to capture the anticipation of the relatives as the bride walks down the aisle. Not much else has to be said because the photo speaks for itself. Love the matching expressions on the two women in the foreground as, I assume, the bride enters the room.

Cropping a little off the left would add more impact to this touching moment.

Hate to say it but the wallpaper makes the picture! But the photographer saw it, used it and captured a nice moment with the parents getting ready.
