Wedding Photography Award - 2741170

At Garrya Tongsai Bay in Koh Samui, Thailand, the bride and groom walk down the aisle toward the beach. The wind gently lifts the bride's veil, adding a touch of elegance to the setting.

Photograph 2741170 was awarded to Thailand wedding photographer Quanchai Ridhiwanna for being the best in documentary wedding photography.

The WPJA is pleased to present Thailand wedding photographer Quanchai Ridhiwanna with an official Master Piece Award as recognition for exceptional wedding photojournalism at Garrya Tongsai Bay, Koh Samu.

The very best reportage-style wedding photographers from around the world submit their best images to the Wedding Photojournalist Association’s photography contests because they appreciate having the opportunity to be recognized 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). Winning in these contests is a true accomplishment for a pro wedding photographer.
