7th place in Getting Ready
The WPJA contest judges presented Heather Banks, a 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.
2005 Spring Judges
Judges
- This photographer should be congratulated for thinking on his/her feet. To be above the bride paid off with a great little moment. And the timing was great- I like just seeing her eyes. It makes me focus on the excitement in her expression. A little improvement would be to tilt down a little (to show more of the dress) and shoot a tad bit tighter- the background is a little cluttered.
