Wedding photography has evolved into a significant profession of its own over the years, encompassing a variety of styles and approaches to help document one of the most important days in a couple's life.

Naturally then, like any artistic profession, there is a place where your skills can be recognized and judged by your peers. Fearless Awards is a curated competition which unveils a carefully-chosen collection of top-class wedding pictures every two months (you can also find the best of 2017 here).

"Fearless Photographers was founded in 2010 when I was still a working wedding photographer. I am now retired from wedding photography so I can work full-time on the Fearless Photographers business. I founded Fearless to showcase the work of the best photographers specialized in weddings who made amazingly beautiful images that went beyond typical wedding ceremony photography. I wanted to compile collections of these wedding photos to show the world how unique and breathtaking couple photos could be," the creator of Fearless Photographers told Bored Panda.

These awards recognize only the very best wedding photos, only 2 out of every 100 submissions are chosen, so prepare to be truly inspired! "Right now, about 3,100 wedding photographers are listed on the site. Our "Fearless" community is very active in efforts to educate, inspire, and help each other."

Bored Panda has compiled a list of some of the most impressive, artistic and cute pictures of the year so far, images that perfectly capture the drama, emotion and pure joy of getting hitched. Scroll down below to check them out for yourself, and vote for your favorites too!

Am just tearful at the quality of emotion in this one image. I dont understand someone who doesnt get it .This is the moment you are giving your precious daughter away to another man. This is the most beautiful you will ever see her and it is the last day she will be your child and under your protection.

For me.. those tears are product of that overwhelming feeling of love. When you love someone SO MUCH that it just fills you and you can't believe that this person, this beautiful, amazing person loves you back, you feel amazed by thinking how happy you are because s/he exists and how s/he can make you feel this way, and experience this profound and pure LOVE.

Why is a carpet and shoes a special photo? Should I notice anything else?

Its the "haldi" ceremony in Indian weddings. "Haldi" or turmeric powder is applied by the friends and family on bride before the wedding day. It helps improve skin complexion during the actual wedding.

Having sex is a “natural act” also, but do all you 21st century free spirits really want a couple f*****g next to you in a restaurant, yeah it's natural, but not everyone wants to see it. Have some respect for those around you

who some people should crwal back under their stones.... It's ok to say if you don't like it. but to say it's gross or some stupid s**t like the baby is surely from another guy and such bs is really disgusting! and I don't wonder that many of these people who make those comments don't have a picture in their profiles-you poor trolls.... I think it#s a great shot! and she looks beautiful!!!

Beautiful picture! May I remind people here that although you have your right to express yourself, this is the 21st century. Progress has been made! We value freedom and not dictatorship rules made by men in the name of their own group imaginary friend. We want to continue this progress, not to go backwards. There is no problem with having a baby before marriage. Wedding is just a ceremony celebrating the love between people and their choice to live together. I hope that in the future the wedding ceremony will reflect only that. There is no problem with breast feeding or with showing the human body. Come on people, it time to grow up!

This one actually makes me sad. If she has a baby then why not bring her baby with her? I get it for an older child.

Knocked up and pregnant again before getting married... priceless gypsy wedding. At least she can feed her twins as Step Dad is off at the bar again. Sad. :-(

This must be the first breastfeeding photo on BP without the "Mature Content" overlay. Well appreciated!
