A friend of mine got his wedding pics done and they are amazing.

I am looking for a photographer for next year but I can't afford Neeper

[T@T]

Good Job Neeps...now get into p0rn where the read money is.

[Neeper]

Wow I can't believe all the responses here! I am very humbled. I am just really lucky to be able to do what I love to do.

That's one thing I've never been called before, pimp, lol.

Thanks, you guys should have seen the other few hundred entries. There were a lot of good ones.

Which one do you like the most? I am very curious.

Thanks for taking the time to look at it.

I really appreciate that. Thank you.

To the OP: Out of curiosity, if this isn't the image you imagined winning, which one was it?

You're right, it's not my favorite. But I knew what they were looking for. Creativity was key. My most favorite shots aren't really that creative. My favs are the ones with story behind them. A real emotion caught in time. This shot is the opposite.

I'll post my other entries in this thread tomorrow. And I'll show you personal favorites and why.

I am glad I didn't have to compete with that Eiffel photo. It's magnificent.

To bad you didn't live in Ottawa (where I'm getting married in Sept.), I'd hire you in a second!

I would travel, but I think I am all booked up Sept already,

I hope by the time I get married you are still doing this, and are giving huge CP discounts. Especially now that you are famous!

Maybe you do have the talent and just know it. Thanks for looking at my site. I don't plan on going anywhere, let me know when you are ready.

That would be great, thanks

Thanks.

Unless of course the CP discount goes up by the same amount.

Congrats... to me that's your best shot, though others will of course have their own tastes.

I think I am priced very well in the market. I am satisfied with my asking rate... for now

Who did his wedding pics? You can afford me, you just realize it.

LOL, I don't think I could live that lifestyle.

[iggypop]

You the best!

[Boblobla]

Congrats, that is awesome. I am pretty excited to see what you can do for me and the Mrs.

[MrMastodonFarm]

Amazing picture man, and congrats. Being able to take pictures like that is something I'm insanely jealous of.

[malcolmk14]

This thread makes me wish I had a girlfriend so I could get married and have Neeper take the photos.

[arsenal]

Agreed, congrats and well done!

Me too! It's going to be great because you guys are going to look so damn fine on your wedding day. I know it.

Oh cool. Who's wedding was that?

Don't be jealous. Just practice and learn and you'll become a better photographer too.

Interesting that a guy would want to get married to have photos done! LOL.

Ok, here were my other entries in the other categories.

This one was entered in the people category:



For couples, I wanted to throw out something different from a non wedding. This shot was taken at the Burrard Skytrain station in Vancouver when I flew out there to shoot this couple's Just Us session, which is just a couple's session.



It was really hard to pick which photos to submit, since I have a lot of favorite shots.

[Jayems]

Wow. Congrats, Neeper.

[jus_sum_guy]

Congratulations. Awesome photos!

I may be in contact with you in a few months for our wedding next year

[Joborule]

Congrats man! I checked out some of your photographs a while ago. Real good stuff! Great to see you recognized for it.

[NSFL]

Oh, I really like the pic for the people category. Lol, especially the guy that's turning to look at the couple.

[Maritime Q-Scout]

Congrats, that's an awesome shot. Wish I had your talent. That's an amazing victory on your behalf, recognition from your peers might actually mean more than the award itself. Congrats nice to have something to show for your hard work.

[Displaced Flames fan]

Neeper, I understand why you like the Eiffel photo, it is magnificent for sure.

Seriously, BOTH of yours are better. I actually like the street shot better than the escalator, but they are both amazing. That street shot is almost indescribable. Time has stopped for them. Genius!

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Man Neeper, some of your stuff is insane. You have just a great talent, not just for taking the shot but coming up with such great ideas for the shots themselves.

Congrats on the award, I'm sure it's just the first of many to come in the future.

[Regulator75]

Once again, congrats Neeper. Your photos are inspirational.
