4th place in Humor
The WPJA contest judges presented Mark Kegans, a Minnesota, 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.
2004 Spring Judges
Judges
- An unusual moment, just a bit off and odd and humorous for that reason. Lots of depth. Hilarious! Instant winner- lots of narratives going on throught the photo. Another wonderful catch by the photographer who's managed to capture the lust of one couple and the reaction to it by another while focusing on the behind-the-back, champagne pick-me-up of a reception-goer and his date. Nice job.
