3rd place in Details
The WPJA contest judges presented Della Chen, a Washington, 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
Judges
- Subtle, surreal, dreamlike, the details work wonderfully in this photograph. The hands twisting the wedding band, the long empty road through the windshield, the partial expression in the rear view mirror, and finally, no view of the bride…an intriguing photograph that goes above and beyond the standard.
