4th place in Weather
The WPJA contest judges presented Daria Bishop, a Vermont, 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.
2006 Summer Judges
Judges
- It's all about a tie that matches the boots, which match the rainy green of the grass. Add a pink skirt and umbrella, and you've got the perfect stage for a nice moment. Luckily, the photographer found one of those, too, for a picture that makes us laugh a little and gives us the depth to feel real. The tilted horizon seems unnecessary, but doesn't distract from the whole too much.
