This photo brought tears to my eyes the second I saw it. Then, after I read James Earl's comment, I went back and looked again. It truly is a picture of an angel enlightened by the love of God.

Of all pictures ever taken of a bride, this picture has (and I am quite certain always will be) THE most breathtaking photo. I knew it from the time I first viewed the wedding pictures that this one was destined for some kind of award. Micaela was born to capture such moments. She is a true professional in every sense of the word. Congratulations on being recognized for your work! Of course, Kelly, the bride, looks absolutely stunning! Theresa, Bucks County PA

This is an absolutely amazing picture. I have seen many of Micaela's pictures and her work is unbelievable. I had the pleasure of meeting her and her husband at this wedding in Mexico and they are a phenominal team!! Great job Micaela. Mary, Lancaster PA.

This should be entered in a magazine - this would win any contest hands-down.. It's stunning and really captures the idea that a picture is worth a million words!

Words seem to fall far short when attempting to describe what the eye can capture during one moment in time through a lens. We should feel blessed that such a moment was ever captured.........a true gift Micaela.

This photo is very etherial. A bride is asking for God's blessing for her marriage, but she must realize that her first allegiance is always to God, which is an eternal truth. I feel this photo implies all of this. Mrs. Bensko is a genius. By Hugh Bancroft

This was a moment when we all stopped for a moment and knew something special was happening. You live for these moments as a photographer, when the beauty is not created by yourself, but by powers greater than your own. Micaela
