2nd place in Dancing
The WPJA contest judges presented Carla Ten Eyck, a Connecticut, 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.
2009 BRIDES Magazine Judges
Judges
- We love that this looks like a traditional slow dance at a reception except for the man who is moved to stand on a chair and throw his hands up in the center of it all. Classic, timeless image. Peak emotion of the man leaps from the crowded dance floor providing juxtaposition with the other more subdued guests. A wonderful photograph.
