After receiving nearly 7000 photo submissions from 39 countries around the world, we've narrowed our selections down to just 50 images that we feel represent the best of wedding photography today. It is truly an honor to receive such a large quantity of work, and to have a glimpse inside the thousands of beautiful, meaningful and deeply personal weddings that these photos came from.
We hope you'll take the next few minutes to click through the full 2012 Best of the Best Wedding Photo Collection to see some of the amazing wedding photography that was created around the world last year. As former wedding photographers and photo aficionados we know first-hand that it takes hard work, true artistry, and incredible skill to capture images like these, and that it also takes a larger community of talented wedding professionals who contribute to the creation of these spectacular events. But most importantly, it takes love. The love of every couple who chooses to marry and celebrate with those they hold so dearly. So here’s to love, and a fabulous New Year! Enjoy!
