| "Mary" By Emma Hanson Emma Dodge Hanson Photography "Isn't this the last word in church weddings? The architecture, lighting and iconic bride-and-groom fashion practically beg to be photographed. The relationship between the small scale of the couple and the large, looming ceiling plays up the religious nature of the ceremony and suggests the presence of a deity, which shows me that the photographer understood exactly what the architecture was meant to do." -- Sarah Kinbar, Editor, American Photo | |
| "The Green Wall" By Barry Nelson Captivated Images "I love everything about this image: the color, the creative positioning, the sense of scale, the way the bride is looking up at her groom. It totally captures the sense of fun inherent in a wedding away." -- Susan Moynihan, Editor-in-Chief, Destination Weddings & Honeymoons | |
| "K-I-S-S-I-N-G" By Erik Clausen Poser:Image "This stolen kiss caught through a veil of reflections in a car windshield has such a dreamlike quality and spontaneity to it. I love that it's at once surreal, sweet, and a bit voyeuristic." -- Jenny Andrews, Senior Editor, American Photo |
