Photographer's Comment

This image was a bit of a gamble - in order to expose them perfectly in the pool of light, I could really only take two photos of them on their way out of the ceremony. It paid off.

Judges

  • This is a classic wedding picture – but executed in strong light which gives it more power than it would have otherwise.
