7th place in Ceremony
The WPJA contest judges presented Kori Hudson, a Arkansas, 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.
2009 Q2 Judges
Judges
- This image is very unusual and made me pause when viewing through the collection, and in a good way. I like seeing images I haven't seen before, executed in a strong manner, and this fills that spot. It's odd and makes you smile. Good seeing and smart to back up and get the entire moment in a frame.
- Funny moment of the wedding party in the rain taken from a good perspective giving the viewer a nice feel for the location and mood of the outdoor wedding.
