4th place in Ceremony
The WPJA contest judges presented Dennis Lee, a Illinois, 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.
2006 Summer Judges
Judges
- Another strong picture in a strong category. This photo uses the entire frame to celebrate the joy and mayhem of rice throwing. We get to feel the happy embarrassment of the groom, the smiling uncertainty of the bride, and the boisterous glee of the rice-throwers. The photographer organizes all this for us, leaves out distractions, and puts us in the thick of the action.
