9th place in Creative Portrait of Bride
The WPJA contest judges presented Bill McCullough, a Texas, 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 Winter Judges
Judges
- A wonderful portrait with a cacophony of Christmas lights that compliment her bright smile and eyes. The untraditional background lights also serves as a reminder that this wasn't a traditional wedding date. I might suggest a crop without the house in the background as it could distract from the main subject. A good job nonetheless.
