1st place in Ceremony
The WPJA contest judges presented Christobal Perez, a North Carolina, 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 Spring Judges
Judges
- An eye-catching … eye-catching. The arch of eyebrow, the coy body language makes this image great. The moment happens in every wedding but the photographer had to be on the ball to capture this one cleanly. That last look back as dad gives the bride away is a warm, heart-felt moment. The bride's face reflects one of complete happiness and excitement but with the understanding of what it means for her father. A very very lovely moment captured forever.
