I don’t generally enter contests, but the Wedding Photojournalist Association was one of the things that inspired me to get into wedding photography in the first place, so I’m thrilled to participate. The images the site regularly put forth in its contests showed me that the era of stilted poses was over, and that the storytelling coverage I had come to love as a newspaper and university photographer could be transposed to the wedding day. It is a highly prestigious contest filled with the best storytelling work of some great photographers.
So here are the latest results! You have to search for your wins and I’ve been known to have trophies arrive on my doorstep for images I didn’t know had placed, so tell me if I missed any:
3rd Place, Cake Cutting (From Eva and Lane’s wonderful New Orleans wedding)
4th place, Creative Portrait (From Jen and John’s great wedding in Chappaqua, NY)
and 5th place, Emotion, showing Kayla dancing during a wonderful little two-hour wedding at Lyndhurst Manor in Tarrytown, NY

Thomas Lester - Great job, Ryan! That Creative Portrait has been one of my favorites since you first posted it.
