Stephanie & Ray Wedding Featured on Style Unveiled

I’m always thrilled to shoot a beautiful wedding, and Stephanie and Ray’s was no exception. Pasadera Country Club in Monterey, California, was the setting for this exceptionally gorgeous and unique wedding. I was privileged to be there for this wonderful celebration and enjoyed every moment with this lovely couple and their friend and family. To add frosting to the cake, their wedding is featured in Style Unveiled magazine. Hurrah!

Summer ISPWP Contest Winning Images

I was recently honored to judge the International Wedding Photography Competition hosted by ISPWP. It was astonishing to see the best work shot by hundreds of amazing photographers from around the world as one batch on my Hard Drive… I’ve spent two days just enjoying the photos before starting to work on scoring sheets. Check out the award winning images here.

Featured on ISPWP and in Today’s Bride. Recognized as one of “Best of Wedding Wire 2009,” and “Best of Project Wedding 2008.”

Just a quick update. It’s crazy! A whole bunch of good news lately! Back in February (2009) I photographed Kristine and Jim’s wedding. It’s been chosen to be featured on ISPWP’s site (International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers). Link
Not only that, but my latest awards from Winter 2008-2009 contests landed me in the top 20 U.S. photographers for the season. Not bad! link
And there’s more! It just keeps getting better. About a week ago I got a letter from Project Wedding, notifying me about including me in their “Best Of” category, and simultaneously, I discovered that I am a part of “Best of Wedding Wire,” too.
Isn’t this nice? And to top it off, two weeks ago I got a call from Today’s Bride notifying me that some of my work is featured in their 2009 Winter issue.
While my clients are still and always my most important critics, it is a good feeling to be recognized by my own industry. It just feels good.

Got awards…

I am totally lazy when it comes to submitting photos for a competition.
My good friend and very talented photographer Marcel Siegle convinced me I should submit and I did. This resulted in unexpected winning of two first places, two second, a third, eight and ninth places. While it’s certainly not an eight gold medals, but still, I never got so many awards at once. Considering ISPWP is an international association with thousands photographers on board, placing in competition is quite a challenging.

Check the winning photos out:

1st place ONE – Movement and Motion
1st place TWO – Bride and Groom Portrait
2nd pace ONE – Framing the Subject
2nd place TWO – Venue and Location
3rd and 9th places – Engagement Portrait
8th place – Pure Art
