2nd place in Creative Portrait of Bridal Party
The WPJA contest judges presented Michael DiBari, a 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 Winter Judges
Judges
- I really like the layers in this image, the casualness and framing of the bride outside of the window. Great compositions and use of light. A nicely composed image that made great use of the light. I like the way toe three women inside are framed, the line leads you from one to the next. And it's fun to then see what looks like the bride sitting outside the `window. Warm, natural smiles on the women also helps with the feel of the photograph.
