1st place in Reception
The WPJA contest judges presented Dennis Mock, a 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.
2004 Spring Judges
Judges
- This is all about composition, space and color. And seeing. I'm not sure what's happening here, but the composition and body language make me want to frame this photo. Just damned nice. The photographer captured the youthful, yet stylish and elegant play of boys and girls. The soft colors and warm light add to the spirited moment.
