Got some great news earlier this week!
WPJA…The Wedding Photojournalist Association selected one of my photographs (11th place) for their Quarterly contest. It’s a shot from Kate & Kase’s wedding reception at The Woolverton Inn. I’m feeling rather proud and honored…as this was a particularly esteemed group of judges, including Eugene Richards, Lauren Greenfield, and Antonin Kratochvil.
Here’s what the judges added as comment on my selection: "Beautiful seeing. I love the rhythmic pattern of the men and their cigars and the monochromatic color palette."

Cool shot Lauren. Congrads!
Awesome!! Beautiful shot Lauren!
HI Matt,
Thanks…I love so much of the work that’s selected for each contest. It’s my best source of inspiration for the work we do.
BTW…am curious if you got any good shots of me in the tub?
Lauren,
Fantastic news! Glad to hear it. Yesher Koach (go on in strength)

What a fab shot, Lauren! Congrats! Your award is well deserved! Happy 2008!
WOW, HUGE congrats, Lauren! That’s an awesome shot! Well deserved!
Cheers,
Jaci
Congratulations Lauren! And it’s such a fun photo because it’s not a traditional wedding image! Perfect!
Great photo Lauren. Your work is great.
This really deserved better than and 11th place. What was wrong with those judges!!
