This photograph has a dream like quality. The photographer framed this beautifully though the window and captured a very private moment of the groom that we don’t often see. The body language on the groom adds another element to the photo.

Very nice image. The sense of joy and emotion work together to make this a very compelling and spontaneous image.

This is a touching sweet moment between the groom and groomsmen. Longer lens cleans up the background so that the focus is on the expression of the groom.

I've seen a lot of "guys drinking beer" photos but this one really brought me to the moment through lens choice and angle. It creates a feeling of being there. "Pass me a beer please. I'll have a Corona Light."

A more humorous look at a groom preparing to take the plunge. Made me chuckle. Well done.

I rarely come across an image that leaves me mystified as to the reasons why I keep turning to it. Most can be quickly described as poignant moments, personal interpretations of a universal theme, a window into the endless light and shadows bordered by life and death. But occasionally there comes an image that simply "is." Nonetheless, I can say that the framing, composition and lighting is the perfect package for a photograph that speaks to me in relative silence. Kudos to the photographer.

More contemplation, this time more intimate. The photographer really feels invisible here. Nice composition, nice moment

It took me a moment to realize that this image wasn't just another in a long line of split screen photos via a mirror reflection. It's a beautiful photo that borders the realm of classic.

A nice spontaneous moment and a great hairdoo help to make this a winning moment.

Funny moment of the groomsmen peeping at a women's magazine.

I love the composition and the moment. Normally I would be bothered by the angle of the doorway but in this case it really helps the composition.
