The BRIDES Magazine | WPJA photo contest winners were announced this week..and three winning pictures were from Neil and Kelly's wedding at the Astors' Beechwood in Newport!

BRIDES magazine along with the  Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA) conduct the contest.

Neil and Kelly's Newport wedding in the summer of 2007 was beautiful and so intimate and fun, which I think the photos capture.

The winning photos are below and at Brides.com…check out the bridal party on the lawn at Astors' BeechwoodKelly and her Father,  and Neil and Kelly dancing!

JUDGES COMMENTS: The blur and angle of this picture add to its sense of fun and
excitement. It makes you want to be part of the party.

This image just has a great energy about it. It makes me feel like it
was a very fun affair where people really got along. Capturing the
"feeling or mood" of a wedding is any photographer's goal and it was
done very well here.

JUDGES
COMMENTS: There is a relationship between father and daughter that no
one can take away. This image captures the chaos around them while the
mother helps her daughter get ready and the bride stays fixated on her
father.

I love everything about this photograph. Amid all the activity, the photographer tells us their story gracefully.

JUDGES COMMENTS: The contrast in this picture is nice because it really makes the
bride stand out in the center of the dancing crowd. Her expression is fun and flirty.

Just a wonderful and fun photograph. It combines information with
visual impact. The rich black and white tones makes it a classic.
