1st place in Getting Ready
The WPJA contest judges presented Barbara Kyne, 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
- There were a lot of variations on this theme of girl watching the women get ready, but this one nailed in with a great composition. This photograph's frame is chock full from edge to edge, top to bottom. And right there in the middle is the girl, getting ready. The hands in the foreground are very nice, and the arm framing the girl makes the photo hold together.
