5th place in Reception
The WPJA contest judges presented Dominique Cabrelli, 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.
2013 Q3 Contest Judges
Judges
- A wonderful moment between friends. Embraces are hard. They are the way that friends show their feelings, but that is often lost because their faces are lost in the process. The photographer gets just enough to combine all of the elements. I have found that the instants right as they are coming out of the embrace are better than the time of the embrace.--Certainly is with world leaders and politicians. Of course, many times these people don't even like each other, but they embrace.
