Wedding Photography Award - 2545101

This is the moment the dressed flower girl sees the bridegroom kissing the bride's foot. The moment he sees the bride kiss the bride's foot becomes a little shy. The best man goes to help the flower girl cover her eyes.

Photograph 2545101 was awarded to China wedding photographer XiangJie Hao for being the best in documentary wedding photography.

The WPJA is pleased to present China wedding photographer XiangJie Hao with an official Master Piece Award as recognition for exceptional wedding photojournalism at Xi'an.

The very best documentary-style wedding photographers from around the globe submit their best images to the Wedding Photojournalist Association’s photography competitions because they appreciate having the opportunity to be awarded in this field. Their images are scrutinized by some of the most notable and respected working photojournalists and picture editors in the news industry (not the wedding industry).
