Wedding photographer Philip Thomas, was awarded 12th place for photo 350246 in the Dancing (Action) category for the WPJA's 2010 Q1.

The WPJA contest judges presented Philip Thomas, a Texas, 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.

Judges

  • I like how everyone is involved in this photo, the couple and everyone standing around then. The hands in the air, the petals and the colors make it fun.
  • While my choice for first in this category stood out because it beautifully captures a moment between two people, this image does well to place the happy couple in the company of their guests. The choice of framing was intentional, and was the best choice for bringing everyone into the image while still allowing the bridal couple to be the center of attention.
