2nd place in Departure
The WPJA contest judges presented Kara Pearson, a Colorado, 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 Q3 Judges
Judges
- A fun image and I love that the bride is driving the scooter and the groom is behind.
- Photographer captured a wonderful expression and body language on the groom from shooting from the side. Long lens keeps the couple in focus as a slight pan blurs out the background emphasizing their departure ride with a soft focus behind them. Great that the photographer captured both legs in the air as they are swept up in the moment!
