Great use of a different setting. Probably meant more as a portrait, this image seemed to capture not only the essence of the subject, but the great mood of the celebration. The party is having a wonderful time, and the idea to frame the portrait under the sign was brilliant! Nice nice job.

5th Place: Cameron Gillie from Wisconsin, United StatesJudges Comments
A funny alternate to the classic horse and buggy. The balance of the composition and the faces on the bridesmaids make this photo. Hilarious!! What a funny situation. Loved her expression. Wins award for "stinkiest" wedding picture ever...

A setup with the kiss in the vintage car rearview mirror but well done. It knows it doesn't need to show everything. When it comes to different ways to say transportation, the photographer hit a home run. Combining a hint of the steering wheel with the chrome and metal of the vintage auto and topping it all by capturing the kiss in the mirror is just brilliant. Not just great, but brilliant. A wonderful image.

Nice candid shot- party seems at ease and totally unaware of the photographer.

A great moment. The motion of the car speeding away to an undisclosed honeymoon with just a hint of the hand waving goodbye adding to the mystery. It's got energy and it's got class. It's a very strong image.

Another wave, but equally strong. The panning of the ride-away makes for fun and great smiles while giving the image a sense of place with style.

A dreamy, fleeting moment as the bride emerges from the car.
