What an exquisite portrait. The photographer was able to capture their intimacy without overpowering the scene with his or her presence. I like the off-center composition too.

I love how the photographer combined ambient light with a burst of strobe to achieve a very cinematic effect. Perfectly executed.

This is a neat frame. The bars frame it, the grafitti on the wall works with it too.

Great job on the part of the photographer to capture this spontaneous and intimate moment. The bride and groom’s faces say everything about their joy and love.

I immediately loved this shot. The gesture, and spontaneity is genuine and I like the unusual point of view and the perfect balance in colors. Really elegant and tender.

The light is amazing. I love how the photographer used the light - although the figures are nearly silhouetted, we can still feel the romance.

Despite the tension created by the tight crop and off-centered composition, I still found this portrait affectionate. It is also very nice use of black and white too.

Not to sound too punny, but very uplifting. The balloons, him lifting her - nice clean shot.

I encouraged this couple to really reflect who they were & the things they liked to do together for their engagement shoot. The series of images is of them cooking, dancing, and hanging out with their dog, all in their own adorable little home. It was such a fun shoot and I really appreciate when couples are willing to go "beyond the park" setting for their shoots and really share something about themselves and their personal style
