Normally it is the bride that we see at the center of all this attention. Lucky dog! Rich and textured, beautiful cropping and black and white are the hallmarks of this winner. Great face.

I've got to admit that an elephant at a wedding has got to be a rare event. A nice moment of a the hug by the Pachyderm towards the groom or groomsman. A clear winner, this picture rose to the top immediately. Not every day you see an elephant at a wedding first of all but the photographer captured such a great moment and a wonderful expression. This is an unexpected wedding moment. The photograph makes me want to know more. Great moment between man and elephant. A surprise photo.

A rare wedding picture with layers. Lots of fun stuff going on here and such a nice change to have a picture that's not at 1.4 with a lone point of focus. Gets old after a while.

William Wegman comes to the wedding. This is a priceless image giving us the best of anthropomorphism, which is hard to pull off.

A true moment of a groom and his dog on his wedding day. The people in the background frame the moment perfectly and add some drama without being distracting. Well exposed, good use of light and nice moment. The framing feels a little awkward, but the moment and warm colors are nice. Tender moment with his pet. Cropping white sign off top right would improve the frame.

Sheer joy and abandon.

This could be described as a perfect dog portrait. The angle shows the interest of the dog's eye towards the bouquet. Nicely composed. The subtle tux outfit and the bouquet imply wedding with just those two elements.

Another peak-action pet wedding photo. I can imagine the moment of the bride stopping what she was doing to greet the dog who luckily was kept away from the dress by the sturdy leash. Delightful body language on the dog, literally throwing love at his or her person. Clean perfect composition.
