2nd place in Portrait of Bridal Party
The WPJA contest judges presented David Jay, 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.
2004 Summer Judges
Judges
- Nice, thin black and white with bodies positions nicely. Unpredictable wedding party photo. Very good attempt at a different type group portrait. It would have been more effective if the people and the background were spaced better. Unusual and well executed idea. I love the symmetry of this photo. It looks like it could be an albulm cover if they were musicians! Striking composition, unusual pose.
