8th place in Action
The WPJA contest judges presented Derrick Ong, a Singapore 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 Q1 Judges
Judges
- I've never seen silly string at a wedding before, and I'm not sure the groom is very happy about it at his wedding! The photographer captured the groom's discomfort and anxiety to get it off himself. The bride isn't quite as bothered by it, but she isn't as covered with it either.
