Fun, Fun and more Fun. Well lit, framed and executed. Each member of the bridal party shows off their own personality while using the prop set before them. This was a clear winner.,

This whimsical portrait was a surprise. The unique composition, beautiful play of colors, and heart-shaped chain of hands added to the creativity of this well composed image. ,

Distortion in wide-angle shots can often be distracting. Here it’s working to frame the groom as he is used for target practice.

The bride and groom are frozen amidst the blur of intense color and light. This image is creatively constructed but would be stronger with a tighter crop. ,

A very odd setup (not to mention the rather unusual jacket the groom is wearing). The parking lot is a striking and stimulating contrast to the bride's formal gown, as are the outfits of the others in the photo, but everyone seems to be enjoying their participation in the picture, which in turn invites us to smile along with them.

Maybe the red ties made this photo special. It has a lovely balance and charm. It is simple, but complicated at the same time, which keeps me intrigued about these guys. I want to know more about them from looking at the photo, but my imagination will have to take over instead.,
