14th place in Getting Ready
The WPJA contest judges presented Joe Nicholson, a Washington, 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.
2006 Fall Judges
Judges
- The first time I saw this image I almost skipped right by, but I thought I would stop for a moment to see what was on the computer screen. I got a real kick out of this image once I realized that a grown man still doesn't know how to tie a tie. Have no fear, the Internet to the rescue! This is a nice moment that many photographers would have walked right by.
