6th place in Getting Ready
The WPJA contest judges presented Orlando Copeland, 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.
2005 Winter Judges
Judges
- I get a great sense of place with this photograph. The pictures lining the mirror make me feel as if the photo was made in a family salon or at someone's home. Excellent lens choice and depth of field brings us to the subject who apparently has other things to worry about other than her hair. Love it!
