The WPJA contest judges presented Yaisa Tangwell, a Trinidad and Tobago 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.

Judges

  • Just because you’ve seen one photograph of a wedding party jumping in the air doesn’t mean you’ve seen them all. This photo has style. The bride is positioned in front of the setting sun and is an integral part of the performance. The jumpers play their parts well. The supplemental lighting is well balanced. The composition is strong and the photograph is engaging.
  • The jumping bridal party is difficult to make work when so many elements have to all work at the same time, but in this instance it all came together. Back and front light combined also added to the overall effect.
