6th place in Details
The WPJA contest judges presented Sean Meyers, a North Carolina, 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.
2005 Summer Judges
Photographer's Comment
I noticed the newlywed bride visiting with her very old grandmother and knew there would be a great photo from that encounter. The old and young hands with their wedding rings is a favorite of this bride.
Judges
