3rd place in Musicians & DJs
The WPJA contest judges presented Brooke Lagstein, a New Jersey, 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
- The big wide [lens] vertical, usually something that makes me cringe, here works well with the subject in his over-the-top saxophone stance. The checkered tiles on the floor and squares on the ceiling are like the bread holding together one big cheesy saxophone laden wedding reception cheeseburger. Yum!
