Quiet spaces can be full of emotional content. This feels genuine. Skillful unobtrusiveness to let things happen.

Very interested to know the story behind this one. One of the more unusual images in this category.

This photograph definitely stood above the rest. A fly on the wall, the photographer expertly captures this poignant moment between the divided couple.

No more keeping emotions inside. A meaningful moment recorded perfectly.

The intensity of the father’s emotion is almost palpable as the bride attempts to comfort him.

Three great faces and I love how the textures and patterns envelop the frame but don't detract from the emotion.

Great energy in this image. I go straight to the eyes on the girl at right. This is a great example of many things working in the image - strong emotion is just one component.

A very warm family moment, captured well.

The love between father and daughter is so overwhelming here you almost feel as though you are part of the scene. Great photo despite the woman’s intrusive back in the foreground.

Love this girl. Beautiful color palette, too.

This moment is quieter than others in the category. However, the lovely exchange and great use of light makes it a winner.
