3rd place in Cake Cutting
The WPJA contest judges presented Miranda Lievers, a British Columbia, Canada 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.
2007 Q2 Judges
Judges
- The look on this woman's face says it all. She seems to be winding up, cake in hand. Her husband is laying a gentle hand on her arm, trying to soothe her to avoid getting served. The photographer could have made this picture with the groom in it, but shooting it this way is arguably more interesting. It brings us to her expression and body language, as well as giving us additional information with the guests to the left waiting to make a photo of his demise.
