 Wedding Photo Contest ($1,000) Grand Prize Winner

Summer 2007 Wedding Photo Contest Winner - Myong Hong (Prodigy Studios), CA, California
"Love of St. Francis"

Photo Equipment:
Nikon D200, Sigma 18-50mm lens. Aperture f/2.8, Shutter Speed of 1/10th Sec., ISO-800

Notes:
"The setting was dark and I had to use the little amount of lights that's already lit up around the church. Since I had to drag the shutter to 1/10th of a second I had to make sure my camera was still so I had told it as steady as possible. I went slightly beyond the rule of thirds to create a more dramatic effect. This client was one of the best I've workedWedding photography contest winner number 1 with. They allowed me to do whatever I wanted and they also went away from their reception for 20 minutes for this photo and some other night photos."

 Wedding Photo Contest Second-Place Winner

Summer 2007 Wedding Photo Contest Second-Place - Gina DeConti (Imaginative Studios), IL, Chicago
"Magnificent Veil"

Photo Equipment:
Fuji FinePix S3 Pro & Nikkor 17-55 F 2.8 Shot at ISO-800, 1/4000 Sec. at F.28

Notes:
"It had been raining intermittently all day and we only had a few minutes for this shot. We ran out into the middle of Michigan Ave while I held onto one end of the veil and photographed up from underneath it. At the same time I tilted the camera to create a more dynamic composition."

"The bride and groom were so great and were completely open to all my ideas. My approach is always to make sure my clients feel comfortable Wedding photography contest winner number 2and are having a good time during their day. I want the photos to look very natural and un-posed while I explore different angles. It’s fun to surprise my clients with something beautiful and unexpected."

 Wedding Photo Contest ($1,000) Third-Place Winner

Summer 2007 Wedding Photo Third-Place - Yun Gen Yang, NY, New York
"Oh My God"

Photo Equipment:
Canon Rebel XTi, 17-55mm F2.8 IS. ISO - 200, Aperture - F2.8, Shutter - 1/800

Notes:
"The bride and I were walking through an alley in the middle of a hot New York summer day. The idea of this fun shot came to me, since the groom was very outgoing; he was pretty much up for anything that day and it’s always fun to be a little risky. Wedding photography contest winner number 3The key to this pose was that I didn’t tell the bride what the groom will be doing beforehand. Once the bride saw what he was doing, we got this great natural reaction from her."
