4th place in Details
The WPJA contest judges presented Billy Johnson, 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.
2005 Spring Judges
Judges
- What I really liked about this picture was that it was a detail, but it tells a complete story. Wedding photojournalism takes us behind the scenes: I fell like I am looking over this bride's shoulder as she practices her vows- the photographer took me there. Great job combining intimacy and a detail!
