A great reaction shot by the photographer, of great reactions! Just a really fun and unexpected moment captured perfectly.

So much emotion and so many fantastic expressions in this one. When people are this emotional it can be hard to get this close and keep shooting, but it’s a moment that the couple will treasure. The supporting crowd in the background adds to the depth of the shot.

Great use of the setting sun to create a beautiful silhouette with just enough detail illuminated in the faces to make this one really stand out. Lovely processing too.

Wonderful composition and symmetry in this great storytelling shot. I don’t think I’ve seen a processional image that covers as many bases as this one. It has real drama and encapsulates so much of a modern wedding in one frame.

A nice visual trick, and a very striking take on a straightforward wide reception shot. I love a bold, graphic image like this and would have a huge print of this on my wall if it were my wedding.
