3rd place in Food & Drinks
The WPJA contest judges presented Lacey Butler, a North Carolina, 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
- This image is a great example of how a quiet but smart image can say so much. I love the composition, the moment, the use of the object in the foreground to set off the people behind. Very sophisticated and well seen. I would have like the people moved slightly over to the left to separate them more from the object in the foreground on the right
