I took out and ad in the Sheraton Commander's brochure magazine, for the awesome Cambridge hotel, and the magazine decided to feature some of my wedding shots in the issue.  

I just got back a number of rolls of film from the lab.  I love getting my film back, its always such a surprise and film looks gloriously un-perfect!  Everything with my digital gear is so sharp and as I said, perfect, that I love the way my film looks from my horizon camera, warped, lens distortion, focus off (its a fixed focus camera) and just plain sweet!

So wedding wire just notified me that I am a top wedding photographer with them!  Here is the press release they sent me:

WeddingWire, the nation's leading wedding technology company, just announced that Joseph Prezioso has been selected to receive the 2010 Bride's Choice Awards™ for wedding photography!

Every year I spend a week at the Imaging USA convention which coincides with the DWF seminars.  Last year the convention was in Arizona and this year it was in Nashville, TN.  It was a great learning experience and I always find out something I did not know before, but most of all I get to hang out with all my wedding photographer friends from around the world.  If you think you party hard, you have never seen wedding photographers going bar hopping, lol.  It was a super great time and I cherish every moment of it.
