Nice moment stolen by the couple while the photographer was able to also catch entire room. Also nice symmetry.

Every part of the frame reinforces the mood.

Subtle and so elegant. Would like to see it about one stop darker to emphasize the light inside the building.

Effervescent eye candy.

The little bit of sunlight shining down on the ceremony gave this picture an edge over others in this category.

This was a thoughtful image and sometimes these get overlooked, I was glad the photographer took the time to see this image and take it. There is a real nice feel from the guy in the corner, just a quiet, well-done “getting ready” moment.

Gorgeous scene-setter. And shot at the right moment for optimal bride placement.

Photographer's Comment

I love scene shots and even more when I can layer the compositions. I had already scoped this shot out prior to the ceremony. Shot from the same room the bride was getting ready and photographed with the sublime Leica M9 and a 35mm summilux. I wanted the balance to be just right so I kept the bride in the bottom right corner of the frame.
