Judges Comments
George Hurrell lighting. Staged very well. A great use of light and composition for a photo that feels like something out of 1930's Hollywood. One of my favorite pictures in the contest. Loved the crop, lighting and simplicity. straight out of a 1920's movie . . .

A candid type portrait with great facial expressions and body language. The light and composition are also strong. Wonderfully sweet moment.

A true candid moment of a bride and groom sharing time together.

Capturing the peak moment of true love is tough, but this photographer was able to do so. The subtle colors of the Arizona desert in the background (presumably) add to highlight the bride's gown and the closed, smiling eyes of the groom are just the right touch.

Taking some chances in the hotel room windows.

Indeed, a poignant moment silhouetted against the lighted waterfall allows for strong composition and a stronger portrait.

The kids are in love, and it's clear by this moment captured by the photographer who combined sunlight, leaping water fountains and excellent composition to convey their emotions.
