2nd place in Details
The WPJA contest judges presented Karin Von Voigtlander, a New York, 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 must've been a fun wedding to photograph. This couple obviously has a sense of humor and will appreciate this picture years from now. Even in hindsight they'll have a giggle and probably wonder, "What were we thinking?!" Hopefully photographers will remember that these small details will add so much color to the event in the long-term. Sometimes we forget to appreciate or notice the subtle beauty in life and it takes a few moments like this picture to give the ceremony a sense of place and time. Good attention to detail. Nice read.
