Award Winning Shots - 08-30-2008, 05:00 PM


I hadn't posted about this earlier as I just wan't in the mood to do so...

Anyway, a few weeks ago I got news that two of my images did quite well in the International Society of Professional Wedding Photographer's photo context. I thought I'd share that...

This image placed second in the "First Dance" competition.



This image placed fourth in the "Bridal Portrait" competition.



I was surprised by the results as it was the first contest I've entered and there was some INCREDIBLE competition. To make it all the sweeter, it came in on the same day that I launched my new website!

Anyway, I wanted to share that but also thank you all for the help, encouragement, guidance, and crap () you've provided over the last few years!

Congrats buddy, very cool news!

I am not aware of this group, however they have to be better than WPJA as I see they are continuing kicking out some of the best and most amazing photographers in the world over there, adding to the list Jason Groupp out of New York recently.

Congrats buddy, so happy to see you creating and succeeding!

Thanks everyone.

I use VERY little post processing in my images (specially my wedding images.) This one is pretty much straight out of camera - just some slight white balance adjustment and such in Adobe Camera RAW.
