Winner: “Committed,” photographed by Joy Marie Smallwood of Joy Marie Photography, based in Los Angeles, CA, and Nashville, TN

Couple Shariyah Garner and Cameron Morris, from Auckland, New Zealand, at Unitarian Society of Santa Barbara, CA, July 26, 2009

Inspiration I wanted to capture Shariyah and Cameron in a pose that exemplified their deep love and commitment to one another. This pose did that!

How to capture a similar moment Don’t be afraid to let down your guard and really show how you feel about your partner. When it’s done in a genuine, vulnerable way, it really does come across beautifully through imagery.

Best part of shooting weddings away Usually they’re much more intimate. Only those closest to the couple usually attend, which makes for lots of special moments, a laid-back atmosphere and always so much fun!
