1st place in Kids
The WPJA contest judges presented Greg Gibson, a Virginia, 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.
2006 Spring Judges
Judges
- I'm going out on a limb to say this one stands a good shot at winning. One of those situations you just hope happens. The serious look on the bartenders face and the tippy-toes on the girl brings it all home. This is a 'pictures of the year' type of shot. The tiptoes are subtle, but bring a spark to an image that at first reads artistic.
