3rd place in Emotion
The WPJA contest judges presented Bridget Besaw Gorman, 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 Winter Judges
Judges
- Lovely moment between the bride and I assume her mother. It looks like they are doing something they have done for years. One of those sweet and intimate ways we communicate our love to one another. Very sweet moment between bride and mother. Almost didn't see the bride's hand coming up in the lower portion of the frame. Would have tried to get lower to make the hand more prominent.
