2nd place in Bride or Groom Portrait
The WPJA contest judges presented Natalie Galyon, a 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.
2004 Spring Judges
Judges
- A very traditional portrait, but using the texture and tone of the setting as well as the expression of the bride to really draw in the eye. Simple. Wonderfully emotional. The face of the bride in mid whirl provides the reader with a timeless look at love. The photographer has given us elegance in simplicity.
