Spring '09 WPJA contest results

The WPJA recently posted a list of winners from their 1st quarter contest, and one of my images from Lisa & Matt's wedding at the Crane Estate in Ipswich placed in the top ten in the 'Getting Ready' category. (More images from Lisa & Matt's wedding coming soon!)

From the judge's comments: "Wonderful job by the photographer to see this scene in a completely different way. The bride's hand on her shoulder is a moment that not everyone would catch and it really brings this understated but lovely image together. The use of the strong backlight helps to keep the composition simple. A rare wonderful use of a vertical composition."

sea of love

Jessica and Jason's wedding at The Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, MA was full of laughter, color, and plenty of art -- the P.E.M. has an amazing collection of art and artifacts from Salem's rich maritime history. I especially loved the ship's figureheads mounted to the walls of the Museum's East India Hall, keeping watch over the ocean of happy wedding guests below.
