PDN' Top Knots Top Wedding Photographers

Over the years I've had the honor of being a judge for the annual PDN's Wedding Photography contest.  PDN is a great photography magazine geared to professionals.  As a judge I've loved shuffling through thousands of images (when they were actual prints) and even more files (when they became digital). Being introduced to photographers from all over the world and seeing what competitors' submit as their "best" image (from what must amount to hundreds of thousands of choices) is exhilarating -- it sharpens my sense of what "great" wedding photography is all about.  I've often known many of the winners and even planned the events that have won -- making the experience even more personal.  This year I was introduced to a lot of new work, with a strong international focus.

If you are looking for a wedding photographer I encourage you to check out this year's winners -- it will help you focus on what you're looking for in a photographer, and gauge the talent you're considering.

 

For those of you who are simply interested in the business of wedding photography, pick up the May issue of PDN -- it's great stuff.
