Overall 5th placing on AGWPJA for 2009!!!

I’m delighted to announce that after 4 quarterly AGWPJA competitions, with 12 winning entries, I have been placed overall #5 for the year 2009! Last year, I was placed overall #5 for WPJA for year 2008 and wondered if I could pull off the same for the AGWPJA…and it finally came true! Many many thanks to all my couples for going against the grain and putting their faith in the quest for more experimental and cutting edge work. I don’t think any of these would have happened without their support, so thank you, thank you, thank you! 🙂

Mark & Amelia – 15 August 2009

I love my job.  So how do I know it? At the end of the day, you’re tired, but you just want to look forward to working on the images. 

Well initially, they were supposed to get married on Oct 17 this year, and it being a very popular date, I’ve lost count of how many couples I’ve turned down so I referred some of the other photographers to her.  Amelia was one of the couples who expressed their disappointment that the date wasn’t available in my comments page here.

Guess what?  Few weeks later, I received a call from Amelia asking me which are the available dates in August 2009, and that she will try to book the hotel accordingly.  Some photographers probably find it hard to believe this because most of the couples’ wedding dates are determined largely by the availability of the hotel (i.e the banquet venue). This couple is definitely very different from the rest.

Mark & Amelia, if you’re reading this now on a plane or at the airport, thank you once again.  We all had a great time yesterday and do enjoy your honeymoon!

Shot yesterday on the eve of my birthday (and now that the kiddos are asleep I’ve picked up some of my favs from the series)… Sneak peaks only 🙂

Oh yes, the importance of the photographer to the wedding couple on their big day is another reason why I love this job and  Mark & Amelia has reaffirmed that 🙂
