I appreciate the striking simplicity of this image: white on white on beige, with a focus on lines and contours. It’s also been a while since I have seen a classic VW Beetle – let alone one used for a wedding car – so that’s fun! Great detail image.

Beautiful image! I love the moment the photographer has captured: the veil being blown by the wind against a backdrop of a rainbow. Vibrant colors that all seem to be in conversation with each other – including the blue-and-white bouquet, which matches the sky – and the framing of the photograph also help make it particularly effective. Great job!

**This contest is open to photographers ranked between 251 and 1000 in this week’s <a href="https://www.photocrowd.com/photographer-community/">Leaderboard</a>.** Wedding photography can encompass many genres of photography - portraiture, reportage, architecture, landscape and still life - and the official wedding photographer no longer has a monopoly on great wedding shots. The banks of phones and cameras that capture the many highly symbolic traditions that make up weddings around the world must make them one of, if not the most photographed events.

I really appreciate this non-traditional, rather layered take on the wedding photography theme: a photograph of a longing glance at an old wedding photograph. I love that I can make out the shape of the elderly woman’s face in the reflection, as well. Well done.

This is such a fun moment. Many wedding photographs focus on the ceremony and the bride and groom, so it’s fun to see the joy and excitement that are happening outside of the main event. The little girl’s expression and the motion of her dress and arms as she dances make this particularly effective for me. Well done!
