1st place in Cake Cutting
The WPJA contest judges presented Evrim Icoz, a Oregon, 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 Winter Judges
Judges
- One of the nicer, less predictable cake photos. There is no cake in it, but it's clear from the way she is holding her hands (and the cake on his fingers) what has just taken place. The people in the background seem to want to give the privacy, yet still watch. The couple is framed beautifully in the frame and the women with their arms in the right corner mimic the hands and arms of the couple.
