It's only one tear and tight lips on the groom but quiet power, simple and strong. The photographer made a very very strong and emotional image. The tear-stained checks, the pursed lips, the watery eyes... the proud stature and the use of B&W with wonderful tonal qualities.. it's flawless.

Siblings couldn't be closer in this full, backstage moment. Simple and clean tender moment.

COMMENTS: One can just feel the joy, the happiness of this couple. Facial expressions, body language and a well-composed image with good use of light make this a winner. Hands intertwined, smiles, eyes gleaming, a better photograph conveying the love for each other in such a joyous moment couldn't be made. What a nice smile!

The photographer's image couldn't have spoken the words louder. The more non-traditional reaction of sheer joy and happiness framed in the doorway of the white more traditional doorway.

Once again, body language and facial expression make me connect with this couple through a photograph. The ability to convey real emotion through a two-dimensional image is a gift.

A Larry Fink , hard strobe-filled moment during the dance.
