Exciting Win Sets Wallflower Apart


Exciting news for the last day of 2007: Laura just received another award from the Wedding Photojournalist Association! While the award itself is pretty cool, what's really great is that the win earned her entry into the prestigious Artistic Guild of the WPJA, becoming Washington State's sixth photographer to receive this honor.

The AG's purpose is to promote and celebrate creativity and skill in photo processing and manipulation, so her win (and mine last spring) really speaks to our strengths in Photoshop. For this shot from Jessica and Derek's wedding this summer, we applied several color effects to give it the winning look. Post-processing is an essential step to creating knock-out images and we've long considered it a vital part of our workflow.

Given how many hundreds (or is it thousands?) of photographers shoot weddings in Washington, I'm proud that we've both been recognized by both the internationally respected WPJA and its even more exclusive Artistic Guild. Amazingly, we're the only studio in the Western U.S. to have received this dual honor! Congrats again to Laura on this exciting win.
