9th place in Emotion
The WPJA contest judges presented Laura Schoeggl, a Washington, 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.
2004 Fall Judges
Judges
- Good photography is often multi-layered and gently reveals its depth. They offer surprises where it is least expected. This image combines a nice moment, wonderful lighting, a good entry point via leading lines (the wall baseboard) which helps viewer's focus on the primary subject. A shared smile beyond the door provides the subtle surprise. What initially appears to be a simple image is actually quite sophisticated.
