WPJA Winter 2006 Competition

Thought I'd share some exciting news with all of you. The Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA) recently announced the results of the Winter 2006 competition and I was fortunate enough to place 3 images in the top 20...one took 2nd place!

For those of you that are not familiar with WPJA, it is "a professional organization composed of photojournalists and wedding photographers from around the world. What sets our members apart in the industry is their candid, documentary approach – a distinctly artistic vision toward wedding photography."

I am honored to be a part of this group and am thrilled to have had the following 3 images place. It is the only competition that I ever enter because of the respect I have for the organization, the photographers that are members and the panel of judges that they put together for each contest.

There is another division of the WPJA called The Artistic Guild of the Wedding Photojournalist Association [AG]WPJA. This is "a group of international wedding photojournalists, who capture unscripted wedding moments as they happen, and excel in the art of post-production image processing. The [AG]WPJA is a division within the Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA); one which specifically promotes Fine Art Wedding Photojournalism"

I am proud to say that I also placed 2 images in the AGWPJA competition...both in the detail category.

Here are the winning images....
