A Lens on Love - Wedding Photography - Week Two Winners

A Lens on Love - Wedding Photography - Week Two Winners

I recently teamed up with my dear friend, and fantastically talented British wedding photographer Sheryl Fish, of Oobaloos Photography, to create a space just for wedding photographers. A Lens on Love is a Facebook Page dedicated to wedding photography. We wanted to create a place for wedding photographers to learn, grow their businesses, support each other, and build relationships. We have some of the elite wedding photographers from around the globe participating in judging the weekly themed competitions and in submitting their work. We are thrilled to see so many talented industry professionals participating and spreading the word!  Sheryl and I have been SO inspired by the amazing talent being shared!

Our amazing week two guest judge, Beth Seliga, of 3 Cats Photo based in the Charlottesville, VA area, is a fine art photographer specializing in senior, family and wedding photography. Beth began her career traveling the world as a professional sports photographer with her work appearing in publications including Sports Illustrated, USA Today and Pro Cycling magazine. After having kids and settling down in Albemarle County, Beth transitioned to portraiture and wedding photography.

Her stunning work has been featured in publications including: NBCNews, Financial Times, USA Today, Sports Illustrated, Wedding Chicks, Beyond the Wanderlust, Cville Weddings, Capitol Romance,  Stand Alone Magazine, NAPCP, Privizzinis Passion, YipYap Girl & Love Photographs Beautifully, the Crozet Gazette, VeloPress, Competitive Cyclist, Cycling Weekly, Pro Cycling, Cycling Magazine USA and UK, The Scout Guide,  The Denver Post & CyclingNews.  We were honored to have her with us this week!! Please pop over to her site and check out her gorgeous images and show her some love!

Beth's selection for the TOP 3 images submitted to our
"It's All in the Details" theme are as follows:

1. Image by Emma Fair Photography

"I love how the natural elements lend texture and framing without distracting the viewer from the beautiful ring." - Beth

2. Image by Sarah Maria Photography

"Great use of depth of field to focus on the bouquet but also lend a sense of time and place to the image. Beautiful dramatic lighting." -Beth

3. Image by Renee Barth Photography

"I love the cool use of lighting to add dimension and depth to the image." - Beth

That's it for Week 2. Congrats to the winners and many thanks to all who joined us!

The theme for Week 3 is "Nature's Backdrop." We can't wait to see your interpretations! Be sure to submit your wedding images on Facebook by Sunday evening 7/17/16!
