Got some great news last night! WPJA released the results of the 2007 fourth quarter contest results and a photograph from Natasha & Joe's wedding received 8th place in the "Toast" category. There are so many brilliant, hilarious, and moving photographs included in every category. I am always inspired by the work I see honored through WPJA.
I absolutely love this photograph...so much emotion freely expressed between a father and son. I love when I can look at a photograph I've created and feel in my gut how intense that moment was that I witnessed. This was a toast that I will never forget. I'm working on Natasha & Joe's wedding album right now and excited to see the story unfold again. Thanks so much to Joe's and Natasha's family for sharing your feelings for my camera.

JUDGES COMMENTS:
"Very good moment here. It is a picture you feel."
"Perhaps a father and son in a moment. If so, the family will love to have this photograph to remember the moment."
"This was the best emotional toast of the bunch. I wish the background
were cleaner. But, I commend the photographer for capturing a true
moment. Very nice."
