Great wedding photographers have to think on their feet and look at life from every angle.

They shoot in the pouring rain, harsh mid-day sun, freezing temperatures, on top of mountains, in blazing deserts, and in the darkest of caves.

Frequently, they have to take interesting photos in boring meeting rooms and in places that are messy, dark, or just plain unattractive, with only minutes to make the most of it before rushing to the next part of the day.

Recently, I ran a contest called the 50 Most Brilliant Concepts in Wedding Photography here at "Worlds Best Wedding Photos", an online art gallery that celebrates the art of wedding photography and recommends the world's best photographers through a highly-vetted directory.

Here are 50 winners that are bound to amaze you and make you take a second look!

    She needs to be leaning out more, the lines in the back make the lack of symmetry even more stark. Although body language looks like she's afraid of heights (she's gripping the rail from both sides to prevent tipping, is standing almost upright, and has a tense facial expression) so maybe he should lean back to balance it. And the black-and-white film isn't helping, it makes his black suit draw the eye, while her white dress fades into the background.

    They are listening to the most magnificent music coming in from the room behind them. A massive snowstorm is whistling outside too. It was a surreal intimate moment for everyone. What we like is the subtle smiles on everyone's faces which tells us good feelings are flowing, especially in the children's faces.
