This week on our sister site, Tahoe Unveiled, we highlighted a photography contest sponsored by Tahoe Unveiled in collaboration with Theilen Photography - and we are participating as one of the judges! See below for all of the details.
Wedding photography takes enormous amounts of dedication. It’s not about the type of camera you have or what lenses you use; it’s about YOU, the photographer! It’s about the time it takes to get to know a couple and capture some of their most intimate moments. We want to celebrate our love for wedding photographers. We will be compiling a collection of the most stunning 20 images and a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. Submit your best Lake Tahoe wedding photographs to our very first Best of the Lake contest.
With industry judges: Stephanie Anderson of One Fine Day Events, Matt Theilen of Theilen Photography.
