If I'm allowed to toot my own horn...

I'd like to share my excitement over having two of my 2007 wedding images place in the most recent contest of the Wedding Photojournalist Association. The WPJA, a screened directory of wedding photographers, sponsors four contests per year and I enter the contest on an irregular basis as often the contest deadlines fall during our busiest season. This year, despite being up to our necks in Christmas reprint orders, I was able to steal a few hours to submit images.

Though I market myself as a Maine photographer, as fate would have it, the images that placed in the last contest were from out-of state-weddings. The first image shows Mary's anticipation as she is about to walk down the aisle at the Fairmont Copley Plaza in Boston.

The second, from the Sunapee Harbor, New Hampshire, wedding of Sarah and Carter, shows Sarah's fear and she and Carter were lifted up on their guests' shoulders during the dancing.

These two images, join another WPJA winner from the third quarter contest in 2006, this time from a Maine wedding. It shows the wind picking up Katie's veil as she entered the ceremony at Clark's Cove Farm in South Bristol.
