6th place in Ceremony
The WPJA contest judges presented Marcel Siegle, 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.
2006 Summer Judges
Judges
- This photograph celebrates a sense of place. It is about where the wedding takes place, not about who is getting married. The photographer took many steps back, and helped us feel the place, the weather, the calm of the evening by composing the scene well. The strong diagonal gives the photo depth, adding to the broad sense of land.
