JUDGE'S
COMMENTS:
Shows
real presonality of the bride- nice and candid- sweet
moment.
The
photographer makes it look easy. Take a beautiful bride
and three little beauties, and it's a recipe for tenderness
and love. A non-traditional portrait that says more
about the bride than a formal portrait could.

JUDGE'S
COMMENTS:
A
very traditional portrait, but using the texture and
tone of the setting as well as the expression of the
bride to really draw in the eye.
Simple.
Wonderfully emotional. The face of the bride in mid
whirl provides the reader with a timeless look at love.
The photographer has given us elegance in simplicity.

PLACE - David De Dios / Arizona

COMMENTS:
A
beautiful portrait made by the simple black and
white contrast of the eyelash, eyebrow and the veil.
It's an incredibly delicate and tender moment that
can be stared at and read forever.

JUDGE'S
COMMENTS:
The
beauty in this image is the curve of the stairs and
the contrast between the white of the flowing gown,
the railing and the carpeted steps. An elegantly photographed,
non-traditional portrait..
