Best of Weddings competition

The suspense has been killing me since WPPI but I finally found out today that I actually won first place (Romance category) in the Best of Weddings international competition sponsored by Eventpix & WPPI. The judging was held last week at the WPPI (Wedding & Portrait Photographers International convention in Las Vegas.

I really love this image..and this couple! We created so many wonderful images from that day. Special thanks to Anna & Sebastien for allowing me to be a part of their special day.


As a category winner, I win the following



- Asukabook 10x10 40-side Hard Cover Book-Bound Varnish album
- Complete Set of Kubota Image Tools Photoshop® Actions
- $150.00 lab credit with H&H Color Lab
- One Doug Gordon Workshops DVD (1 DVD) and Flow Posing Guide

Not bad! Thank you Eventpix & WPPI!!

I WON!!

Ok all, this little ole CT wedding photographer is simply walking on air here since I just heard that I was the Grand Prize winner of The Best of Weddings Contest through Eventpix/WPPI out in Vegas!!! I win a new Fuji S5 Pro, a full set of Kevin Kubota's actions, some framed prints of my images, and the winning image posted on the Eventpix site for 6 months. (I was really hoping for a leg lamp). This really is a major accomplishment considering the talent/images entered in the contest and I am speechless. All I can say is WOW!

OK..some of you know about this already but I entered the Eventpix/WPPI Best of Weddings Contest and low & behold..4 out of the Top 10 semi-finalist selections in the Romance category are by yours truly!! Hopefully I can actually win something this time! I actually took 4th place in the Wedding Photography Directory's national contest, which is great considering there were 1200 entries...but what can I say? I am not out to be a bridesmaid..I want to be the bride! Say what?
Anyways, I was supposed to be at WPPI in Vegas for the week but just couldn't leave the Mrs. with a 3 year old and a 4 month old. As I always say..1 child is a fair fight..but 2 and you are outnumbered! Maybe next year.
