1st place in Patterns / Shapes
The WPJA contest judges presented Dean Dampney, a New South Wales, Australia 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.

- Mirror image so dogs and feet is quite pleasing.
- This is a delightful take on symmetry. There is a lot of same-ness and opposite-ness happening concurrently. Black on white, bride and groom, dogs lined up in parallel lines facing different directions…it all comes together to make a fun moment.
Wedding photographer Dean Dampney, was awarded 1st place for photo 1922231 in the Patterns / Shapes category for the WPJA's 2016 Q3 Photography Contest .
