Iβve made it to the top 50! π Among thousands of submissions worldwide, one of my photos was chosen for Junebug Weddings 2024 Best of the Best Engagement Photo Contest. Whatβs made this extra special is Junebugβs intent to recognize love in all forms and the skills and eye needed to best capture couples regardless of the coupleβs photogenic experience (or lack there of). As Preetha put it, βDecades and hundreds of pictures of us historically have captured pure awkwardnessβ¦you, dear Aisha, captured our joy.β Tho they showed up to the shoot nervous and unsure of themselves, I was confident from the start that weβd be having an awesome shoot! And so here we are on the top 50 π€.
In my years behind the lens, Iβve most enjoyed capturing beauty that I find so obvious but society seems to neglect. In my heart, the most important feedback is always from the couple. But this recognition is truly heartening. Huge thanks to Junebug for acknowledging the beauty and love in every couple alongside the photographers capturing it.
PS- Fellow photographers, Stay tuned for another announcement tomorrow! πΈπ
