The WPJA is pleased to present East Riding of Yorkshire, United Kingdom wedding photographer Patrick Mateer with an official Master Piece Award as recognition for exceptional wedding photojournalism at Berkeley Castle Church, Gloucestershire Bride and Groom Candle Ceremony.
The very best reportage-style wedding photographers from around the globe submit their best photos to the Wedding Photojournalist Association’s photography contests because they appreciate having the opportunity to be awarded in this field. Their photos are scrutinized by some of the most notable and respected working photojournalists and picture editors in the news industry (not the wedding industry). Winning in these contests is a true accomplishment for a professional wedding photographer.
This image by Simon Biffen, a wedding photographer serving Somerset, United Kingdom, has been chosen as a WPJA Spotlight for its exceptional creativity.
