My photo of Michelle getting ready earned 4th place in the Getting Ready category in the Q1 2008 Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA) photo contest.  

I’m gratified by a judge’s comment:  ”Intimate angle and emotion combine to convey a pure sense of joy in the moment for this bride being helped with her wedding dress. Photographer was able to quietly place him/herself within the activity without interfering to capture an exceptional scene.”
