The WPJA contest judges presented Isabelle Hattink, a Zuid Holland, Netherlands 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.

2016 Q4 Photography Competition Judges

Judges

  • A nice moment captured and the reflection of the groom’s expression and the child’s is nice seeing by the photographer.
  • The consistent expressions are perfect in this image. Even their open mouths form the same rounded shape. Amazing.
  • I love how the faces of the bride and groom are gently mirrored in the faces of the two children waiting for cake. Great moments like this canʼt be planned. Like all before them, they linger briefly and vanish to memory. Thanks to all photographers who preserve them forever.
