Carrie Crooks, the general manager and editor-in-chief of Junebug Weddings, said,

“There isn’t an exact recipe for making a great wedding photograph. But I think a few important factors that help are fantastic composition, raw, authentic emotion and beautiful lighting.”

She went on to say,

“Judges look at many different factors when evaluating contest entries. Winning images are more than just beautiful, they have a distinctive personality and demonstrate technical quality – they are images that are compelling.”
