4th place in Getting Ready
The WPJA contest judges presented Heidi Huber, a Nevada, 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 Fall Judges
Judges
- Tone and feel maybe one of the most important aspects of the quieter categories in the competition. A moment between a father and a bride captured a real serious quiet moment before the wedding. It has what many other photographs lack in the contest, a sense of weight and seriousness to the moment. Everything after this one, for me was emotion, so was this, but of a much different class.
