2nd place in Getting Ready
The WPJA contest judges presented Jacob Hannah, a Vermont, 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.
2015 Q2 Photography Contest Judges
Judges
- This could be considered a landscape photo...it's so wide, but it's unique and it's easy to read what is going on. Simply gorgeous.
- It's not just any day. This is a day of family, friends, romance and hopefully, joy. But preparing for that “Day” is filled with details, almost as intricate as nature itself. But mostly I enjoyed an excellent use of artificial light to highlight the subject while seamlessly including a sense of location that appears to permeate all.
