The WPJA contest judges presented Jessica Claire, a 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.

2004 Fall Judges

Judges

  • Superb pictorial composition with added element of moment. An image that relies on graphic shapes alone usually lacks sophistication. But when strong graphics meet equally strong moments, color and lighting it becomes an easy winner. Look at how a single color makes the image complete. Nice.
