Best of Show in Album Competition

Hi everyone,
Just a short note to let you know that yesterday we had a very good night of competition at the Maryland Professional Photographers Association's print competition held at the Sheraton Hotel in Columbia, MD. Our album 'Janet and Jim' received the 'Best of Show' award. Janet and Jim had a wonderful wedding at the Strathmore Mansion in Rockville in the Fall of 2006. Here are a couple of images from their album.

Competition Time Again

Hi All,
This Wednesday evening we will be taking part in the third of four print competitions run by the Maryland Professional Photographers Association . The year long competition is heating up nicely in the various categories and we are looking forward to entering two wedding albums in the album category. The year long competition drives us to improve our photography skills. Last year we were fortunate to win the Wedding Album Photographer of the Year in Maryland

Michael Dunphy receives the Wedding Album Photographer
of the Year Award, 2007, from David Corey, President of the
Maryland Professional Photographers Association

We will let you know how we did later in the week.

Speak to you soon.

Photographs from Ireland vacation

Hi everybody,
We made it back from Ireland in one piece. As always the weather was "perfect," but we still managed to do a lot of neat things and visit some beautiful locations. Our trip included a visit to the west of Ireland where we visited the Cliffs of Moher, the Burren and the Aran Islands. Here are a selection of some of those images. We hope you enjoy them.

Best wishes,
Michael and Mary
