11th place in Getting Ready
The WPJA contest judges presented Radhika Chalasani, a New York, 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.

- This image stood out for it’s honest capturing of a questionable moment before this woman’s wedding. I’m glad the photographer kept a bit of distance, including a bit more of the scene as the bride sat being prepped. I’m left with a lot of questions about this situation, which I like.
Wedding photographer Radhika Chalasani, was awarded 11th place for photo 152836 in the Getting Ready category for the WPJA's 2009 Q1.
