3rd place in Dancing
The WPJA contest judges presented Sasha Leahovcenco, 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.
2010 BRIDES Magazine Judges
Judges
- Lots of photos of people being thrown in the air, but none others had the emotion, body position, and the rip in the pants. Another stellar photo! Classic image! Would have been great to begin with but the rip in the groom's pants just elevates it to a whole new level. Glad he wasn't going "commando". I am drawn to the energy in this photograph, but it is the split in his pants that takes this moment to a higher level. Ok, some images just capture a rare moment of human imprecision that makes us all laugh. Classic picture. Dancing to the extreme.
