2nd place in Kids (Being Kids)
The WPJA contest judges presented Clare Barboza, a Washington, 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

- This is a beautiful image. Timeless. Great light. An almost impressionistic image of a young girl in a white dress against a pastoral setting. Beautiful soft light and a field of flowers provides the backdrop for her angelic face and dress. The details in the background – the fence, the flowers, the sky - are all quite subtle yet add a lot to the mood of the image. And the contrast of the white dress against the grey tones works well in B&W.
