2nd place in Bouquet/Garter (Action)
The WPJA contest judges presented Bianca Palmer, a 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 Summer Judges
Judges
- This is a pretty complete picture in which the photographer organized a chaotic situation for us. As a result we see the absurdity of the moment. It's all about little body language: the leaning back of the blindfolded man, the jaunty flair of the leg, the one person in the background clapping while the others seem weirdly still.
