3rd place in Ceremony
The WPJA contest judges presented Britta Trygstad, a North Dakota, 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.
2011 Q1 Contest Judges
Judges
- By far the most difficult category to judge. Lots of great images. This isn’t a “loud” photo but I was struck by great timing and composition of it -- it was tight enough to tell the story, to read range of emotions on the faces -- but loose enough that still had a sense of place. Really nice image.
