I entered a couple of photos into the latest AG-WPJA contest and was excited to see that one of them won an award! The AG-WPJA consists of some of the best wedding photojournalists whose work is also influenced by fine art. The image below from Deena and Jordan’s wedding at the Chicago Botanic Garden placed 14th in the “dancing” category. It’s not as high as I had hoped, of course, but considering the large pool of photographers and entries, I was thrilled just to earn an award!
Judge’s Comments: Her eyes, the posture of her lips, her hands pressed high upon her husband’s back tell a story of adoration and thankfulness. The moment was likely little more than a “whisper” on the crowded dance floor until the press of a shutter gave the scene a “voice” loud enough for all to hear.
