4th place in Ceremony
The WPJA contest judges presented David Pullum, a Devon, United Kingdom 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.
2014 Q3 Photography Contest Judges
Judges
- Great energy in the left part of the frame and good story-telling. I like the composition of the photo, and another good example of the photographer capturing a full story in one frame.
- Two people taking photos in this situation is equal to one fine image. I'm sure the man in the background managed to squeeze out a frame Instagram-ready but he's apparently oblivious to the real image occurring behind him. It makes me think of those photographers you sometimes see in the background of a great image. I've often wondered what that must feel like. I know the feeling in a limited way because I missed my fair share of moments throughout the years. Fortunately I was never to be found in the background of "one of those" kind of photos.
Wedding photographer David Pullum, was awarded 4th place for photo 1461156 in the Ceremony category for the WPJA's 2014 Q3 Photography Contest.
