  • Great, great photo!!! With so much manufactured emotions in wedding photography going on, this is as real as it gets. Photographer stepped back and gave the couple some space, and at the same time it gives the photo a sense of peeking in at an otherwise private moment. Great photo! We can see the couple trusts their photographer. We also loved that there's a hint of blur. It adds to the sense of "this is just happening."

  • The best moment stands out in an incredibly strong category. We feel your nervousness, little guy! Tears of joy or of sorrow? Or are they tears because he had to walk down the aisle with a girl? Probably the latter but priceless moment all the same. This picture is delightful. It's a terrific moment.

  • The photographer went with creative composition that really worked. We only see her mouth but it gives us all the information we need. The flowers and the grooms shoulder provide nice framing and a guest in the back adds an extra layer

  • An extraordinarily powerful moment between father (presumably) and son. The touching heads, the pained expressions, the tear welling in the groom's eye ... it's almost uncomfortable, yet compelling, to see this emotion on what should be a day of joy. This could be the melancholy sharing of memories, or possibly shared hurt that a loved one couldn't be there with them ... whatever the cause, the resulting photograph is raw and moving. One of those powerful memories that mean so much among loved ones. Perfect use of lens and composition. The photographer has captured a very personal and sweet moment. The composition highlights the similarities of their features.

    • Another beautiful, real moment full of joy enhanced by the almost confetti like reflections. The photographer really captured the connection between the subjects. Liked the color and scattered reflecting light too. Well done.
