7th place in Great Natural Light
The WPJA contest judges presented Kate McElwee, a Massachusetts, 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.
2014 Q3 Photography Contest Judges
Judges
- This made the top because the photographer took a step back and captured the grandeur of the night. I love the inclusion of the party going on in the background.
- Don't you love it when the right light finds the right moment at the right time? The photographer knew where the position to make the right frame for a photo that simply "feels right."
