Toronto Wedding Photographer | Image contains: night portrait bride groom kissing black sky

Wedding photographer Christophe Viseux, was awarded 8th place for photo 885901 in the Lit Portrait category for the WPJA's 2012 Q1 Contest.

The WPJA contest judges presented Christophe Viseux, a Ontario, 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.

Judges

  • The photographer did a great job using rim lighting in this portrait to highlight the couple yet not keep them totally in silhouette. That in combination with taking advantage of the environmental lighting produced a beautifully photographed portrait that succeeds on every level.
  • The setting in this picture is important, of course, but it could easily have been a cliched hindrance rather than an asset. Eiffel Tower? Yawn! But the photographer created such a striking picture, taken at a just-a-second-before-the-kiss moment, that the iconic tower is simple a place setter. That eye is the center of the photo. Beautiful.
