Shoot and Share Photo Contest

Every year, I submit some photos to an international contest called Shoot and Share. This year there were 412,379 photos submitted to the contest (yeah, that's half of a million)!
In a contest this large I submit mostly just for fun, and enjoy seeing many other beautiful photos and don't expect to rank too high overall. However, this year, I was excited to see that I had 17 images in the top 20% including 9 in the top 10% and 5 finalists!
Below I have shared the 5 finalist, all of which are double exposures. To be honest, most of the photos I submitted to the contest were double exposures.

Michelle & Kurt's Intimate Wedding by Joey Rudd Photography

Whenever a couple invites me into their life to document as intimate an event as their wedding I am honoured. When said event is in their home with only a handful of friends and family present I feel even more honoured to be trusted to be there. This was the case with Michelle and Kurt and their beautifully private wedding inside their home in Ottawa a couple of weeks ago. Their incredibly lovely home, with it's roof-top terrace was the perfect place for their intimate wedding. Here are a few photos from their day.
