16th place in Flowers/Decorations
The WPJA contest judges presented Melissa Mercado, a Quintana Roo, Mexico 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.
Wedding photographer Melissa Mercado, was awarded 16th place for photo 1557236 in the Flowers/Decorations category for the WPJA's 2014 Q4 Photography Contest.
