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 North Yorkshire, United Kingdom.
The very best documentary-style wedding photographers from around the globe submit their best photos to the Wedding Photojournalist Association’s photography competitions 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 competitions is a true accomplishment for a pro wedding photographer.
Wedding photographer John Ryan of Pennsylvania, United States was awarded by the Artistic Guild of the WPJA for this creative wedding photograph.
