1st place in Emotion
The WPJA contest judges presented Eng Hong Loh, a Singapore 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 Q2 Judges
Judges
- I love this image. It surprises me which is always nice. I love his eyebrows which are raised in excitement and it's easy to read such small detail because this image is excuted that well. Very strong moment and great seeing in advance to position yourself to capture the moment.
- Just that little, impish peak around the doorway is all this photo needs. The photographer had to be pretty quick to capture this moment of joyous anticipation.
