I was recently asked to give a talk to some Lithuanian wedding photographers at their annual get together in the city of Klaipeda. Unfortunately due to a heavy work load I was unable to attend. I did however agree to judge their print competitions. I was asked to judge 2 categories – Reportage and Funny wedding moments. This was really interesting and fun to do.
I finally chose this image for the reportage category
This was taken by Liutauras Bartasius. This is a sweet and simple moment. I particularly liked the way the rainbow leads the eye towards the subjects and also how it matches the colour of the flowers.
For the funny moments category I chose this image

This was taken by Ruta Doksiene . This image really intrigued me and it made me look twice – always the sign of a good image. I don’t know what is going on but it made me smile. A clear winner which stood out well above the rest.
Its good to see wedding photography developing all over the world at such a fast pace. This wasn’t the case when I started out 25 years ago. But with the digital and internet age now firmly established everyone can pick up and learn new ideas so much easier.
