1st place in Action
The WPJA contest judges presented Marianne Earthy, a London, United Kingdom 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.
2006 Fall Judges
Judges
- Some pictures are so close to being at the top of the category, but something is missing. In this case it's a photograph that has it all, flower pedals floating all around and a couple caught in the moment. Right lens, good angle, but their eyes are closed and although it feels like the timing is a little off, it still rose to one of the best images in the mix.
