Photo Competition Favorites

Here are some of the photos that I fell in love with (and voted for) in the recent professional wedding photographer competition that I judged. For the magazine's finalists, check out their wedding issue or the PDN site.

Karen Hill Photography New Web Site

For those of you who have ever created a web site, you know how much work it is. It's a difficult labor of love, made all the more challenging because it reflects your personal aesthetic and image. I am delighted to announce that Karen Hill, a Wedding Library photographer, has launched her new web site. I think it reflects her work and personality perfectly. Enjoy!

International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers Competition

The ISPWP is a new organization for wedding photographers that recently announced the winners of their Winter 2008 Wedding Photography Contest. I had fun reviewing the results, as I think you might. The organization solicits entries internationally and domestically, and I was introduced to many new names from all over. Always great to see new talent! Here are some of my favorites; credits are on their posting.

Wedding Photography Unveiled

I just received a copy of this new book by Photo District News Editor Jacqueline Tobin. It features 20 top wedding photographers and is equally insightful for brides and photographers. It can be pre-ordered on Amazon and will be released March 17. Photographers Liz Banfield, Philippe Cheng, Elizabeth Messina and Meg Smith number amongst my favorites and are all included.
