3rd place in Action
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.
2005 Winter Judges

- This picture uses the empty space well and makes the most out of the compositional elements available. The moment is near perfect and the black-and-white gives it a stronger graphic feel. I also like how the trees on the left of the frame ramp up to the subject's head in a nearly perfect line.
