1st place in Reception
The WPJA contest judges presented Jonathan Adams, a Kentucky, 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 Winter Judges
Judges
- This is a great example in the tradition of photojournalism. Moment and composition are perfect and well recognized by the photographer. A really nice photo! I like the angle of this picture as well as the frame being filled up the top with holding hands, it brings me right in like I'm part of the action.
