I truly feel like I’m witnessing an intimate moment of happy anticipation.Excellent photo!” – Dustin

Congratulations to sarahbeirne the Runner Up with photo Untitled

“The expressions, posing, and color treatment really caught my attention with this image. I love the looks on the bride and groom’s faces, their seemingly unaware of the image being captured. Plus, the cooler tones chosen for this image provide a nicely balanced contrast from the warm tree lights in the background. Overall, I feel this image creates a secret window into a quiet moment being shared by the newlywed couple. Fantastic image!” – Dustin
