18th place in Transportation
The WPJA contest judges presented Beth Keiser, 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.
2008 Q3 Judges
Photographer's Comment
There wasn't a graceful way to get on, so in the spirit of the moment the bride gets help hiking up her dress and hoping on. Using a slow shutter with a fast flash, I was able to stop the action but still keep the essence of the street scape.
