Winning these competitions is a true accomplishment for a wedding photographer.

2016 Q2 Photography Contest Judges

Judges

  • Beautiful light and strong composition.
  • The bride, gazing upon her gown is bathed in light fro the skylight window above her. It is a moment made for a skilled photographer to capture and here the photographer has left us wanting for nothing. All has been delivered with a sense of delicate ease in this image as light and shadow meld together for an image filled with the abundance of more than beauty because the moment itself has risen to say “hello,” like the bride’s pensive survey of her gown, speaking to us all.
