THIRD PLACE!!! Who hoo!! Kimbril & Doug (and their wild reception) helped Meg capture this amazing image that garnered a Third Place finish in the Reception Category of the Summer 2006 WPJA contest!

When a WPJA member receives 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in a quarterly contest, they are rewarded with this spectacular medallion:

Spectacular, no?

Ok - the medallion itself is more like a hood ornament for our web listing. But what is does is it gives us a “Photographer PIX Page” - this is a featured gallery that appears next to our name on the Florida page that displays all of our award-winning images.

So now all seekers of great wedding photography can peruse not only our website, but they can also thumb through our award-winning images in our PIX Page gallery! We’re VERY happy about this one!!!

Here is the official link to the contest page where the winning image was featured:
WPJA 3rd Place Image - Reception / Summer 2006

And here is what the judges had to say about the insanity!!!

JUDGES COMMENTS: This is such a beautifully comoposed photograph of a spontaneous (and slightly surreal) moment. Every individual, every line of sight in the frame takes the eye to the bride on the shoulders of the wedding party. The bizarre clown’s head the bride is wearing is perfectly positioned in the frame. I love the two men in the foreground looking up at the bride, woman in the bottom right of the frame who is looking at the woman to her left whose two hands point up toward the bride. Everything in this image brings attention back to the bride. I have as much fun looking at the individuals in this photograph as they seem to be having at the wedding. Can you hear the music?

Thanks for noticing! We are honored!
