Wedding portraits of brides, grooms and couples are the heirlooms that families will pass down for generations. In the submissions for The Best of the Best we receive more wedding portraits than any other type of photo by far, and they range from classically traditional to extraordinarily out-of-the-box. We love seeing them all, and are thrilled to close out this photography-filled week by sharing some of the portraits that we weren't able to include in the final 50. We hope they bring you as much inspiration as they have brought to us!
