12th place in Reception
The WPJA contest judges presented Adam Welch, a Colorado, 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 Q4 Judges
Judges
- The angle of this photo is what makes this a winner. The photographer took the time to go overhead, think about what was happening, and create. The position of the subjects is great, while the lines of lights on the right of the frame bring a nice balance to this photo. The only problem I had was that the photo was a little underexposed. It could have been dodged on the group of people.
