That was the comment from one of the judges in the ISPWP winter photo contest, for this image:

Taken from Krista and Steve’s wedding, it is one of my favourite images ever It didn’t place as well as I thought it would…but then humour is so subjective, so I’m happy with how well it did.

From the same wedding, this image place 20th:

Earlier in the summer I went to Alaska to help my good friend Melissa shoot a wedding, and I convinced the security guard to let us out onto the catwalk of the Alyeska tramway pavilion at the top of the mountain:

Fourth place, not too shabby

Out of all the photographers that entered this contest, I made it to number 14! Here are the images that placed:

The first is from Amanda and Dan’s wedding…this is their dog waiting patiently.

This is one of my personal faves, and was taken right after the ceremony at Christina and Kent’s wedding:

After Wendy and Dom’s ceremony, we were walking around downtown doing the magic time, and we passed this open delivery truck. How could I resist?

The first of several from Monique and Andrew’s wedding. I like the comment the judge gave! A friend of mine said her expression reflected the price of gas!

One of my favorite locations in Ottawa. This is Cristina relaxing for a few minutes during magic time.

Taken as Jordan waited to see Holly for the first time that day.

Monique and Andrew again

Another one of my favorite spots in Ottawa. It always helps when you get a cooperative wedding party

Crossing the bridge on the way to the Museum of Civilization. Peter (the groom) is in the hat.

You know I love my panoramics Here is the inside of the Notre Dame Basilica.

and here is the view from the Museum:

One of my favorite ring photos ever If you look close you can see the condensation on the engagement ring!

The best room at Perth Manor. This was a photos of Kerri’s dress, waiting patiently.

Let’s hear it for brave Brides and Grooms! In this case, Alex and Lorne.

What a great year…I can’t wait for 2009!
