13th place in Getting Ready
The WPJA contest judges presented Brian Wedge, a California, 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.
2010 Q2 Judges
Judges
- A bride taking a last look in the mirror is a timeless image. The photograph is well composed. The bride is photographed from behind looking in a full- length mirror. Her back and shoulders in the foreground are slightly soft focused and direct attention to her full image in the mirror in front of her. The bridesmaids leaning in to get a look at the expression of happy satisfaction on the bride’s face make the image and the moment complete.
