Photographer's Comment

A bride and groom share a fleeting moment to reflect in Central Park before their reception begins. We raced around until I could find this last sliver of late afternoon sunlight. I then allowed them a moment of privacy, to revel and reflect on all that had happened that day and what they might imagine for their lives ahead.

Judges

  • Could there be a more idyllic scene for wedding portrait? This could easily be a frame from a Disney movie...the scene where the prince finally snares his princess. I love the finesse of this image with its delicate balance of color and shadow to light. It is utterly fantastic.
