I was flattered recently when someone asked me about shooting their wedding. I had to politely decline as shooting weddings is a very stressful undertaking that just isn't for me. However I have great respect for those who regularly shoot weddings and do it well. So each year I very much enjoy viewing the winners of PDN's Top Knots wedding photography contest.

I can't link directly to specific images so I'll list my favorite from each category.
