2016 Q3 Photography Contest Judges

Judges

  • A great moment and a nice memory for the bride of the perseverance of her family. The lensing is nice, but the kids steal the show.
  • The ceremony must go on, but it's just a bit more cozy.
  • The impact of this photo is in the moment…the human spirit that endures despite the difficulty of the circumstance. The children were not quite so enamored with the vows as they were bothered by the rain. The faces say it all.
