Our Photojournalism and Artistic Shots Win Awards

Hooray – 2 of our photos won awards in the latest Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA) photo contest. The WPJA is a prestigious organization of wedding photographers. One is an emotional moment between a groom and his dad and the other is an artistic shot of wedding rings.

This photo was captured just after Rebecca and Dan’s ceremony. The judges were touched by, in their words, the “very sweet moment” between the groom and his dad.

We agree. It’s much more common to see such an affectionate display between mother and daughter and we were touched as well by Mr. McFadden.

Rebecca & Dan recently sent us a great thank you card. This is the front of the card – beautiful, isn’t it? Just kidding, we designed the card for the happy couple and they sent it back to us…

…with this very sweet note on the inside.

Rebecca & Dan – thanks so much for the card and the kind words!

The other winning image from the competition was an artistic shot of Janna & Kevin’s wedding rings. The judges loved the “reflection of the word marriage in the ring.” So do we. We used a macro lens to get a very close shot of the rings with words from their wedding invitation reflected on them.
