9th place in Details
The WPJA contest judges presented Paul Johnson, a Florida, United States 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.
2006 Spring Judges
Judges
- Nice find! This image just made me smile, and happy that the photographer found it. Quite unusual for a wedding image, but it says a lot about the girls involved. A great contrast to how they must all have looked when fully dressed! This image speaks to good seeing on the part of the photographer to catch such a telling detail. The black and white floor and white dresses make the colors in the skin and feet jump out.
