Anne and I were in Las Vegas last week to attend Wedding & Portrait Photography International’s annual convention and print competition.  It is by far the largest (and most prestigious) in the industry.

We just found out some great news… one of our images from Jane and Peter’s wedding last year won an award.  Needless to say that we are thrilled for Jane and Peter.

A little history on the winning image:  At the Miller Lash House (where they got married), we finished the family portraits and headed over to the clay tennis courts on the property for some quiet time.  What I did not know before their wedding day was that Peter used to be a professional tennis player, so the tennis courts were near and dear to his heart.  Mother nature had a lot of rain for us on the day – and fortunately, we had a small break in the weather. Thus, everything came together to create the winning image you see above.

So… congratulations Jane and Peter!  You can read the WPPI press release here.

We’ve had a busier than usual wedding season and we’ve met so many great couples this year.  Jane and Peter are one them – and Dave, Anne and I had the honour of photographing their wedding recently.

They held their ceremony and reception at The Miller Lash House (at the University of Toronto at Scarbough). It is a lovely venue and the perfect place for such a great couple.

Jane and Peter: thank you for your hospitality and being so great to work with … we wish you much joy and happiness in your life together.
