This means I can print up to 17×22″ prints and the quality equals or surpasses my local pro lab. Just amazing. With two young children, the ferrying of prints 25 miles back and forth is time I just don’t have these days so I’ve been patiently waiting for the right printer to come along at the right price. I will continue to utilize Pictage for client orders but all my personal and portfolio work will go through the 3880.  I purchased mine from B&H and they still have a rebate offer on up to the end of June.

The black and whites coming out of this things are just simply stunning. I just received some fine art velvet paper so I cannot wait to try this out. It’s also altered my flow of presenting my work to client consultations. Apart form my albums, I now can feel very proud of my in house prints on 13×19 presentation paper.

It’s the summer, so shoots are slowing down and it’s great to take a bit of a breather and focus on just shooting the kids most days.

I’m really looking forward to going back to the UK next month, chilling out in a pub somewhere and seeing mom and dad again. It’ll be the first time mom and dad have seem Emma, our seven month old so it should be a blast.

Abby and Blake married last September. Always lovely to hear:

“Philip,

The wedding album is absolutely breathtaking! More beautiful than I could have imagined!

We also LOVE the calendar and the mini-albums, very cool!

Thank you again for doing such a wonderful job of capturing our special day. You helped us document some of the most precious moments of our lives.

Can’t thank you enough!!

I placed twelfth for the dancing category. It’s just great to get a mention considering the quality and calibre of the competition from wedding photojournalists all around the world.

Here are the comments:

“JUDGES COMMENTS: I like how everyone is involved in this photo, the couple and everyone standing around then. The hands in the air, the petals and the colors make it fun.

JUDGES COMMENTS: While my choice for first in this category stood out because it beautifully captures a moment between two people, this image does well to place the happy couple in the company of their guests. The choice of framing was intentional, and was the best choice for bringing everyone into the image while still allowing the bridal couple to be the center of attention.”
