3rd place in Sequential (3 images)
The WPJA contest judges presented Peggy Stevinson Bair, a Kansas, 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 Winter Judges
Judges
- This sequence speaks beyond simple wedding photography, especially in photos 2 and 3, and becomes a moment about self-awareness. Excellent work by the photographer to stick with the subject after the typical make-up shot and capture something more profound. The best work clearly stood out in this weak category that has great potential, rarely realized.
