3rd place in The Cake
The WPJA contest judges presented Chad Richardson, a Minnesota, 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.
2007 BRIDES Magazine Judges
Judges
- COMMENTS: The bride is concerned with not getting any cake on her face that she seems to have forgotten that it is a "Kodak moment". It is a humorous moment without being critical. This bride is determined to eat her wedding cake and not get her makeup the slightest bit smudged. The size of her open mouth in relation to the tiny morsel on the fork indicates just how important it is that her look remain intact.
