Toronto Photography Awards, Press and Media

I’m speechless…..WPPI Awards

I’ve just returned from attending the WPPI “The Wedding Photographers Association” Convention in Las Vegas where I received 13 Awards of Excellence and 3rd Place International Award for my “American Gothic Chicken”. (special thanks to my couple Vanessa & Simon for willing to chase a chicken with me.) I am still in shock as this…

Anonymous - Amazing images, Just curious, I’m one of the many Photographers in WPPI who noticed that some of the couples looked like models. Are they Models or actual couples

Amina - Incredible. Sil, you’re awesome!

Silvana submitted 16 prints into the competition, and 13 or so hung with other world class photographers.

Hung: prints that were scored over 80 (pretty hard to do) hung in a room where everyone could see some of the best photos in the world.

BEK Photography Etc. - Congratulations Silvana!!!! I am so happy for you. Your selections are all fantastic! But I love ALL of your work. The chicken was definitely worth it… and the crazy drive to get there too :)

Judy - Congratulations Silvana … most definitely well deserved on all the images. Gorgeous images and fabulous processing.

vanessa - Woo hoo!!!! Congratulations. As soon as you suggested that we grab a chicken, I knew that you were onto something (I thought, “this is why I hired this woman! She’s fun and she takes risks!”). We love this photo so much and so do all of our friends and family.

I love this photo because it is so tongue and cheek, so funny, yet sincere (if that makes sense). We live in Manhattan, yet we have this photo of us on a farm, holding a chicken and pitchfork. The fancy clothes contrast beautifully with the theme of the humble husband and wife. Plus you make us look great.

Congratulations again!

Juliet Nicole - Congratulations! I love that image you took in Texas of the homeless man and the story you shared about it. I actually saw you at Jared’s talk at WPPI, but I had to leave fast to meet my sister and didn’t see you afterwards. I’m so happy you won! You totally deserve it. The images are amazing!
