3rd place in Send Off/Departure
The WPJA contest judges presented Beth Keiser, a 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.
2008 BRIDES Magazine Judges
Photographer's Comment
The beauty of each wedding is you never know what little "gems" you'll find. I was walking around the brides amazing antique limo to get into the car when her father walked up. I immediately focused on his face and framed the bride into the picture. It was a tender moment between the two and instantly became one of my all time favorite car pictures.
