8th place in Creative Portrait
The WPJA contest judges presented Robin Shotola, a Maryland, 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 Winter Judges
Judges
- Pros: Good seeing or anticipation on the photographer's part to get this and to get the groom's eyes just right in the mirror and looking so warmly. Cons: The reflection on the lower third makes it hard to find the bride's face and gauge her reaction, which is too bad, as it would add to the story being told.
