The natural window lighting and curves with the sweep of the stairs and the adding dress create a stunning, moody image. One of a kind.,

Photographer gives wonderful context to a bride getting her make-up done. The framing and use of light inside and outside the scene give a cosmopolitan feel also capturing a very nice expression. I especially like the reflection of the bridge at left. ,

It’s a good behind the scenes look that goes beyond the obvious. The use of color is helpful to reflect the grittiness of the scene.

Photographer's Comment

The light is dim. I observe that the things lying in the kitchen room randomly and the mirror on the wall can just reflect the bride who is making up of her face. The Chinese character on the mirror show the special day well and the things in this room reflect the family's situation on the morning of the day and the time of their living. The light on the people and the composition of the frame and the bride's mood all will be OK of this moment.

Great back light makes this a very compelling image.,

Photographer captures a wonderful moment of a grandmother’s expression as she sees the bride. Black and white help focus on the emotion. ,

Wonderful moment of the bride and bridesmaid as the bride gets help with her dress. There are nice layers in this photograph with a very sweet moment and a photographer in the background trying to capture it.

Very well composed, with very strong graphic appeal. The foreground and background work very well with each other.,

This tender moment is very telling of the loving relationship between the bride and her son (assumed) on a day that will change both of their lives forever.

Great gesture and very funny. The expression on the women's face says it all...

Love the two expressions on the faces in the photograph. It’s very nicely composed graphically with the wedding gown hanging in the background.

A funny light moment where the girls are cracking up getting ready before the ceremony.,

The synchronized look of all three of these folks is fantastic. Very nice moment.,

Photographer's Comment

This image was a real find. I was shooting with the bride minutes before the wedding was scheduled to start and these two sweet Grandmothers showed up at the window to check on the bride and see what the hold up was. The curiosity and excitement in these two lovely women was like a tidal wave of love pouring into the room. I instinctively grabbed two or three frames of this brief event. This was one of my favorite moments of my 2011 weddings!!!
