1st place in Ceremony
The WPJA contest judges presented Christopher Lane, a New Jersey, 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.
2007 BRIDES Magazine Judges
Judges
- Great quirky retro feel. Cameras, glasses, garb offer a wistful reminiscence of days gone by. There is every type of camera documenting what is happening and only one turned on the crowd. It makes this seem like a one of a kind image. The photographer has captured a very comical moment yet shown the style of the crowd at the same time. Nice composition. Love the way the textures in their clothes work together. Nice moment. Great image in black & white of guests capturing a moment - makes viewer wonder what they saw. The variety of camera and people make this image fun.
