7th place in Action
The WPJA contest judges presented David Murray, a Georgia, 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.
2004 Fall Judges
Judges
- What a wonderful moment. Hopefully images like this inspire us all to be vigilant. Never allow yourself to think a scene has been shot so many times that it holds little value. The receiving line is obligatory photography. We can shoot it in our sleep. But, when you least expect it, a moment can occur. Be ready. Don't sleep through it. When you do … nightmares follow.
