4th place in First Dance
The WPJA contest judges presented Bianca Palmer, 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.
2006 Spring Judges
Judges
- How little can you show and still say a lot? Very little, sometimes. The smiles, the flower, the hands. It's all there, a complete wedding story in a tight little package. This photo works by peeling away everything that isn't absolutely necessary to show us the joy of the first dance. Nicely done.
