1st place in Ceremony
The WPJA contest judges presented Kent Meireis, a Montana, 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 Q4 Judges
Judges
- The birds in flight at the end of the ceremony is nice and the groomsmen dodging them.
- A very successful photograph because it combines information with visual impact. The doves help lead the viewer’s eyes across the image from the kiss to the ducking groomsman.
- This photo captured a great moment during the ceremony with great expressions and dynamism. The multi layers reading, the composition and the light are added values.
