2nd place in Action
The WPJA contest judges presented Heather Banks, 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.
2004 Spring Judges
Judges
- This one is all about the faces and body language. A great moment that just says “loudâ€. Nice sense of movement and good body language- you can actually see how loud it is in there. The light, the smoke and the movement add to a great moment with bride and groom reacting spontaneously. Even if you weren't invited to the wedding, you can feel its "fireworks."
