1st place in Reception
The WPJA contest judges presented Benjamin Rusnak, a Florida, 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 Spring Judges
Judges
- The swirl of motion around the couple was well executed and captured the excitement of the reception. What a great feeling of movement and joy the photographer captured using a slow shutter. The couple is, literally, the center of the party, the point about which all others rotate. Nice.
