1st place in Scene Setters
The WPJA contest judges presented Bill McCullough, a Texas, 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
- Everybody is in his own world here. This would be a great photo to do an image map of—roll over each character and hear what they were thinking at the time. It's one of those great off moments—in between other moments. Perhaps after the group photo broke up. Nobody seems to know quite what to do next and the photographer caught them all in this in-between moment.
