J Jones Photography: 2009 South Carolina Wedding Photographer Contest Results

I had the awesome chance of attending the first annual South Carolina Wedding Photographer of the Year contest yesterday. It was held in downtown Columbia, SC and featured a bunch of award winning judges, awesome wedding photographers, and of course, amazing wedding images.

After over four hours of intense judging and viewing over a thousand stunning photos I ended up winning honorable mention award!

Congrats to all the winners and I look forward to next year!
