4th place in Reception
The WPJA contest judges presented Scott Schoeggl, a Washington, 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.
2004 Spring Judges
Judges
- Hard, strobe light but Diane Arbus-like quality in this candid moment. It's not the kind of photo for every bride's album but that's okay. This photo wins me over because it is so non-glamorous. The bride looks just a bit creepy as she tastes the food from her buffet, but that makes the photo just unusual enough to work for me.
