3rd place in Food & Drinks
The WPJA contest judges presented Jaime Viera, a California, 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 Q4 Judges
Judges
- You can't help thinking did they not get enough food at the wedding? Nevertheless, an interesting picture of the groom devouring and bride with look of disgust.
- Don't know if this is the bride and groom, but her look is one of, "I just married this guy? Lord help me." He obviously loves his tacos. I won't call it a sweet moment, but it is a storytelling moment. The background also adds a lot of information to the image. This one should have been sharper. The lack of focus hurts it.
