This year's WPPI was so special for David and Luke. It's been said time and time again, the best part about being at WPPI is reconnecting and being inspired by the talented photographers in the industry. This year, the Edmonson's spent most of their time outside of learning, hanging out with some of the best in the business. And there was a little thing called the 16x20 Print Competition as well. We knew we had done well but were totally floored to discover we had taken home the Grand Award in the Commercial Division, 2nd Place in Wedding  Division  :Bridal Part and 3rd place in the Portrait Division: Individual. We will know our total Accolades of Excellence once we receive our press releases but we did very well there as well!

For brides in the Dallas area it's important that you know that this is a really special market - with some of the most talented artists competing and excelling on the International level from right in your own backyard. Major kuddo's to our friends JB & DeEtte Sallee who took home the night's highest honor, Grand Award: Wedding Album and 1st Place in Bridal Party. And Kevin Jairaj took home 2nd Place in Seniors and Third Place in Animals/Pets.

Not only are these really talented photographers but they are great people - we couldn't be happier to see Dallas bring some friendly competition to the perennial champs, the Australians.

We have been so blessed with our friends and colleagues at WPPI. Since joining in 2005 and first attending in 2006, many of our closest friendships have sprung from this wonderful organization of wedding and portrait photographers. We consider it a true honor that they asked us to be WPPI's November Studio of the Month.
