5th place in Getting Ready
The WPJA contest judges presented Simon Carr, a Essex, United Kingdom 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.
2010 Q1 Judges
Judges
- Nice composition and good use of back light. I really liked the simplicity and the body language. A creative image that will also celebrate the dress for the bride.
- The light in this image, the gentle lines, and the details, and only the details that matter, make this an image that was top for me. It is simply a beautiful image to look at.
- Beautiful light and composition. The light is a bit too harsh on the upper right, but the overall image is stunning.
