1st place in Five from One
The WPJA contest judges presented Eric Cable, a Oregon, United States wedding photographer, with this Master Piece Award as recognition for top wedding photojournalism in the industry.
The leading documentary wedding photographers in the world enter their best photos to the Wedding Photojournalist Association's photography competitions. They want their wedding reportage photographs to be evaluated and selected by some of the most notable and respected working picture editors and photojournalists in the news industry (these are not wedding photographers or other WPJA members judging their work). Winning these competitions is a true accomplishment for a wedding photographer.
2004 Winter Judges
Judges
- A strong collection of images with a consistent style and vision. The work shows a nice sense of light and form and a good eye for the moment. Beautiful body language and expression in the images of the bride being hugged, and on the dance floor. And a lovely, subtle moment as the bride looks in on an exchange between what looks like the groom and someone. Also a beautiful image of the couple caught in a beam of light cutting across their faces. As a body of work it is quite compelling.
