2nd place in Cake Cutting
The WPJA contest judges presented Britta Trygstad, a North Dakota, 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.
2006 Fall Judges
Judges
- We all know this is a cake cutting. However, it is more fun to see the less obvious part of the cutting. The angle, color and crop give us a more personal feeling for the cake cutting. The addition of the kid with the camera, and the clever cropping of the image reflects the photographer's ability to see and react quickly.
