11th place in Reception
The WPJA contest judges presented Konstantin Andruhin, a Russia 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 Q2 Judges
Judges
- The tossing of the bride’s bouquet frequently results in interesting wedding photographs, often humorous. Sometimes, as with this photograph, they are full of anticipation. Except for the fact that the bride’s right hand has mostly been eliminated from the frame, I like everything about the composition of this photograph. As a viewer I am caught in the moment, waiting for the bouquet to fall and wondering which lady will be the lucky one.
