2nd place in Group/Bridal Party
The WPJA contest judges presented Kenneth Paul Soong, a Alberta, Canada 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.
2007 BRIDES Magazine Judges
Judges
- It's a given that trampolines offer the opportunity to make good pictures. But they usually don't include men in suits. The photographer took advantage of this somewhat strange combination of fashion and place to make a fun and energetic photo. The creative tension caused by the tight crop of the man-in-the-middle's head contributes to the success of the image, as does his expression, which melds anxiety and excitement and joy. Very funny. Great crop. Sense the energy. Love that the main figure's head gets cropped so that he looks like he's bouncing off page.
