WPJA Contest

Last Friday I entered some of our pics from this year into WPJA's second quarter contest. The winning images from these contests are always so inspiring for us! http://www.wpja.com/ It stands for Wedding Photojournalist Association and is such a valuable resource with great articles. Check us out under the Missouri list. Here are some of the images I selected to enter:

Image from Cayce and Timmy's reception back in June. Their wedding was actually in Jamaica a month earlier; a welcomed treat for us!

This was a friend's wedding near Iowa City. Joel was actually one of the groomsmen in this shot from the receiving line. I love the sun rings and the long shadows that came through in this.

Another image from Cayce and Timmy's party. This was pretty much the only light available on the patio, so we made it work! This was at the Berg Event Space down in the Crossroads District. It's an amazing space and we dream of having one similar someday.

A moment of sing-along passion. This was from Leann and Bryan's reception in Leavenworth, Kansas. I was lucky enough to be standing on a chair for an aerial view. They are actually fellow wedding photographers from Chicago and were so great to work with. Here is another image from their day that was a close second in the dancing submission. Those were giant red under garments that he jokingly pulled out from Leann's dress when he was going for the garter. He also pulled out a beer!
