In January I entered a few of my favorite images in the 2017 Shoot and Share Contest. After a month of voting, the results are finally in! One of my images ranked in the top 3.5% of over 330,000 entries! Another 5 were in the top 10%! To be honest, I was kind of surprised that my favorite picture only made the top 30%, but I probably have my "mommy goggles" on for it.
I love weddings and I love photographing them too. This image of the groom's grandparents was taken at a wedding last summer. I love that it captures so many love stories in one image. The elderly grandparents, worn but still together. The father and mother, holding hands as they smile looking at their example. And the young mother holding her baby and watching the little girls run around. Then the commotion of the whole crowd behind them, all there to celebrate the union of two more young loves.
These were all in the top 10% of the contest. I love b&w images, and I think it's safe to say that others love them too!
