    I voted for the photograph of Alicia Stepping-Woody…Timeless by One Plus One Images.
    No busy background to deflect from the true art subject. An amazing eye from the photographer, but her body language, facial expression and the simplicitic candid like photo of a bride with timeless and simplistic hair, gown, flowers in a picture that focuses on her truthful gaze. Every bride can identify with the emotions that this photo stirs and privokes within new or seasoned brides. Simply, not busy, just bringing to the forefront the nakedness of “timelessnees” qjuiletly privately caught on film.
    And….I must add, a fantaxtic model who could exuberarait those words/feelings unsaid. That is ART!! And a priceless wedding photo to keep for timeless generations.

    I love the “Kiss” photo by Tracy Hoogs. It is very sweet and you can feel the love between the couple. It does not look “set up” and is very honest and simple. I love the setting and angle that the photo is taken from.
