2nd place in Reception
The WPJA contest judges presented Mark Wallis, a Derbyshire, United Kingdom 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.
2016 Q2 Photography Contest Judges
Judges
- I think everyone can imagine what it must have been like to have this veil end up in the tree. Great sense of gesture and humor.
- A great surprising and storytelling image. Makes me laugh and feel for the bride both at the same time. Nice distance between subject and photographer, also serves well as a scene setter.
