Professional Photographer magazine wrote a really nice feature on us last year. We were honored to follow it up with a speaking presentation for Professional Photographers of America in Phoenix Arizona.
We were excited to hear the news that the Professional Photographers of America wanted to blow up the image of the pink bouquet featured on this page into a giant banner for photographers to view as they walk onto the convention floor at Imaging USA early next year.
I was delighted to learn from a fellow photographer that our wonderful bride unbeknownst to us, submitted her wedding for The Knot Real Wedding Awards, which was voted to the top and given the "Editors Choice Award". Later it was featured in this issue. During our last stop in New York for our speaking tour in late October last year, we stopped by The Knot's headquarters and were able to personally thank the fantastic editor in chief, Rebecca Crumbly.
We think YWD is one of the most beautiful wedding magazines in existence and are honored to be published in four of the six issues during the last two years.

Wedding & Portrait Photographers International award winning image: I'm particularly happy with this image as the judges scored it a 92, which sometimes may seem an impossible achievement.
This image also won best of show & best of portraiture at a more local competition held by the Professional Photographers of Santa Barbara County.
