The emotion is subtle, but powerful in this image. The warm light and off-center composition gives it a cinematic feel.

A true and tender moment between these two. Their faces say everything. A really good shot.

This is excellent wedding photojournalism. The viewer feels like they are right there in the room with them.

How many stories in this picture. How strong is the emotion you can read in the face of the groom. And what about the groom’s friend / relative? An excellent image.

This was the best of the dance floor photos with a true energy coming from the groomsmen dancing and singing along.

Feel good photography captured with peak action.

A poignant photograph, artistically rendered.

A pure and spontaneous moment of joy between the bride and the groom. They are finally relaxed and happy. The artificial light is used perfectly.

Great expression on the groom’s face. The solemn priest behind and the kids with blank expressions create more of a “load” on the groom.

The hug just emits warmth. Huge smile on the middle woman.

This is a moment to savor. The photographer responded quickly and framed this image beautifully. Excellent use of black and white too.

Subtle and loving.

I wish the men in the background had better faces but the father seeing his daughter is a nice moment here.

An emotional and warm shot of a dad overcome.

The moment feels genuine, but the reflection on the far left is distracting.

A great job of finding the right angle, in this case photographed in profile.

The same gestures, the same expressions. A simple picture where the photographer kept the strong emotions of the two subjects in a perfect way.

Simple and lovely composition and such heartfelt emotion on the bride's face and in her way to hug her husband.

The simple gesture is nice. A gentle image, but powerful because of the expression.
