Judges

  • Unique expressions on each of the faces made this moment even stronger. The photographer was in the right place at the right time and really captured a great reaction that was nice storytelling.
  • The simplicity of the composition and the expression of the bridal party seeing the bride ready for her ceremony is an easy, free-flowing moment that places the reader vicariously behind the camera. The photographer has stepped into the right position to record the moment. Anticipation is a key ingredient for images like this.
