6th place in TTD - Rural
The WPJA contest judges presented Paul Johnson, 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.
2008 Trash the Dress Judges
Judges
- First we're thinking, "How did that bride get up in the tree?" We get that trashing is on her mind and wish we could see the shot where she dives in the water. We love the textures of the moss and the flowyness of the dress next to the moss. We almost wish the framing was slightly less confusing as our eyes tend to get lost in the negative space above her.
