7th place in Toasting/Speeches
The WPJA contest judges presented Emin Kuliyev, a New York, 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.
2010 Q1 Judges
Judges
- Obviously some of photography is serendipitous, but it still must be a moment caught. Nice!
- Take an idea for a pretty picture, and throw in an unexpected moment and you get a winner like this. The image might have been very pretty, but now it's far more of a prize from the day. You couldn't ask for a better splash....but you do have to be ready when it happens.
