1st place in Architecture
The WPJA contest judges presented David Beckstead, a 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.
2003 Winter Judges
Judges
- The staircase has a nice linear flow and the addition of the blurred couple helps add a little humanity to a photo that would have been stagnant. Nice composition and use of natural light. Nice movement. Nice subtle earthy hues and smart choice of slow shutter speed combined to create an ethereal image.
