7th place in Groom Getting Ready
The WPJA contest judges presented Fred Bruneau, 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.
2010 Q3 Judges
Judges
- Nice quiet moment of the groom illustrating the intensity of emotion behind the scenes. Not sure if that is the bride on the phone in the background but it’s nice to have another element in the frame that adds to the tension of the moment. Natural window light also adds a nice element to the scene.
- More contemplation, this time more intimate. The photographer really feels invisible here. Nice composition, nice moment
