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."

Congrats to my colleagues and friends whose work placed in the contest as well!

I was thrilled to learn that I recently earned top spots in two recent contests. A detail shot from a July wedding won 2nd place in the Details category of the WPJA Summer 2006 contest, and one of my favorite shots took the top spot in the AGWPJA summer contest.





I'm humbled and honored to be listed alongside people whose work I admire so greatly, some of the most talented people working in wedding photography today.
