WPPI was even better this year. They just keep improving. I wanted to share the results of the print competition with all of you. We came home with 12 awards that we know of for a total of 36 in the last three years. We will get the official results in a few weeks. Last year we had 2 that didn’t get hung but got awards, we can only hope we missed a few:) For the non photography folks, this print competition is like the world series. We are not just competing against the best photographers in the United States but against the best from around the world. Getting these awards is extremely difficult and takes many years, and careers to get just one.
I want to thank all of our wonderful clients this year for trusting us to create that special portrait for them. Without all of you none of these portraits would have been possible. Your lives and stories inspire us each and every day.
Here are the press releases given to us by WPPI

Andy and I have slowly started to catch up and we thought we share another wedding we recently finished! I think we have another 15 or so after this so keep your eyes open!
Casey and Tara were married in Castle Rock here in Colorado at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church. Their reception was at Casey’s family ranch where I learned they have several horses, lots of open land and a few buffalo! They held the reception in the arena there; it was a giant place which was good because they had hundreds of people there! Their church was so full they had people standing in the back. Because they had so many guests they had individual cakes made for each table. The cakes were a part of the centerpiece as they sat on top of upside down colorful margarita glasses. They also had fun margarita glasses filled with candy and pretzels throughout the reception. The bridesmaids wore cute little dresses a beautiful shade of green and their flowers included giant lilies. Tara really put a lot of thought into their wedding making it special and unique for them!
The surprise of the evening was when Tara’s family convinced Casey to drink beer out of her shoe. I did not see this coming, but thought it was rather comical. It was symbolic of his new place in the relationship. We had a great time at your wedding and we are so happy for you guys! Thanks for letting us be a part of your special day!
