I’m pleased to announce that two of my images have placed in the top ten of the latest Wedding Photojournalist’s Association 4th quarter contest! The WPJA is a membership-based international organization of photographers who specialize in documenting weddings in an unobtrusive style. It’s an honor to have my images recognized among the work of so many other talented photographers from around the world. The two images that placed are two of my favorite captures from 2008.
