My Wedding Album Scored HIGHER Than Everything at IPPA 2014

At the last minute, I got word of our state’s professional competition this year. I quickly picked and entered my prints digitally the same day to make the deadline because I had no time to print them. However I also picked up my sample wedding book off my table and turned it in too. It is an exact copy of what the bride and groom received. It was not designed special for competition or display, it was a real wedding sitting in my studio.

That book wowed the judges and the audience. It scored higher than anything else in the show. You may have seen it, in a past blog entry, Called Jaqui’s Wedding in Corpus Christi, Texas.

I also feature it in this video about my wedding albums. It is the medium sized book, 12×14.

I also won these awards, Master’s Court of Honor (one of the top scoring Masters), 2nd Place Master Pictorial/Illustrative for this image,

…and 2nd Place Finished Product for my album. The first place went to a framed piece because the award was sponsored by a frame company. (Gyp!)

Anyway, if you’re getting married, you must come in and see my weddings. Call me at 801-728-3317 to talk to me and check out my main website, BryCox.com.

Until next time, America.

4 New Awards at the IPPA State Convention

I just won 4 more awards this week at the Intermountain Professional Photographers Association yearly convention. This was the image that won all four awards, the light I photographed when I was stuck in Maine. I just mentioned it actually in my last blog post. It’s titled, “Isle of Light.”

The awards it won were a Kodak Gallery Award (that makes 7 of these for me know), the ASP State Elite Award (called the Best of the Best, my 2nd one), 1st Place Master’s division, and Master’s Court of Honor.

The level of competition is very difficult in the Masters, because the skill levels are all so high. I like competing though, because I like knowing that I can continue to create great images year after year and am always doing better.

I am always trying to raise the level of quality that I offer my clients each year, and to do a better and better job.  As expectations and competition rise, I hope that clients see these awards as a sign that my quality and commitment to great images also rises each year.

Well now my print case has been shipped off to regionals and I’m anxious to see how they do. I’ll keep you all posted.

Until next time, America.
