3rd place in TTD - Water
The WPJA contest judges presented Elaine Soong, a Alberta, Canada 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 Trash the Dress Judges
Judges
- Great timing execution! Where was this photographer? The subtle drag of the shutter to emphasize motion is working well. No accidental merging of the couple along with nice negative space distribution. The B&W really helps complement this frame. We are also drawn to the rocks and the bird poo. The bride not being afraid to walk through that definitely supports her trashing.
