Exciting news!  I’m super proud of Mel right now for her wins at the Wedding & Portrait Photographers International 1st half 8×10 competition. I received four Accolades of Excellence–which were completely crushed–by Mel taking 1st place in the Bride or Groom Alone category.  And as if that wasn’t enough–she also took 1st place in the engagement category. Here’s a link to the results: WPPI 8×10 Competition.
