1st Place!!!
I placed 1st in the ceremony category in ISPWP’s wedding contest with the above image of Purvee during one of her ceremonies. The judges’ comments were, “Great color and great light, a tough ceremony to shoot good job” and “Great moment and nice colors.”
And tough it was! The series I got was definitely an example of making the best of a difficult situation. I’d never seen so many people in one house, and it was extremely difficult to move around. At this point, I’d found myself “behind the action,” so to speak, the typical view you’d expect, and there was just no time to plow through and get around. We don’t set things up or do any do-overs. When I saw this starting to happen, I dropped to the ground and fired away, resulting in one of the most unique shots of the entire three days of celebrations. Sometimes when you depart from the expected viewpoint, you find the real story.
I also placed third in the category “Motion and Movement” with the image below. I also got an amazing series from this fun mishap!
