We were blessed to place 1st and 2nd in the January DPPA print competition. Here are the two award-winning images for the Wedding category by David and Luke. We like competitions simply because they give us something to work on or think about all month - and it helps us challenge ourselves and grow. Besides its' a friendly banter for us as father and son!

The highlight of our night had to of been hearing the very talented Carlos Baez speak about the importance of shooting from the heart. And how critical lighting is in setting yourself apart from every other "wedding photographer" out there shooting "urban grunge". Carlos doesn't speak as often as many on the wedding photographer speaking circuit because of the importance he places on being close to his wife and two boys in Miami. So if you every get a chance to hear him - we highly recommend you do so!
