8th place in Kids
The WPJA contest judges presented George Weir, a Pennsylvania, 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.
2003 Summer Judges
Judges
- This image was perhaps the best pure image in the category, but it was not sure if it belonged in this category. Technically there is a child in the image, but it is a stretch to put this in the kids category. Still this is a great moment with good use of space. The photographer could have gotten a little closer, but it still is nice.
