1st place in Emotion
The WPJA contest judges presented Malgorzata Woszczyna, a 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.
2006 Fall Judges
Judges
- Tight joy, presented in black and white where the groom is bending the bride over and she is in absolute bliss makes this image jump out of the crowd. I wonder how it was shot, clearly it's a long isolating lens, but its emotion and joy are expressed perfectly in the faces and the body language.
