2nd place in Ceremony
The WPJA contest judges presented Dominique Cabrelli, a France 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.
2009 BRIDES Magazine Judges
Judges
- The photographer captures a particularly emotional moment as the bride wipes away a tear during the ceremony. In black-and-white, her white dress stands out among the sea of gray suits, and she becomes the focal point of the shot. Captivating expression on the bride’s face. An enchanting image filled with sweet expectation and delight. This image is a very simple, yet very effective, capture of that exact moment in this beautiful girl’s life as her existence is forever transformed.
