1st place in Engagement Portraits
The WPJA contest judges presented Jeremy Lawson, a Missouri, 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.
2007 Q4 Judges
Judges
- A clean, lively portrait of a couple. Again I don't know the couple, but the photographer certainly found a way to show them in the most positive view of their future together. Pan shots are tricky. This one is just a little late, but still a winner.
