8th place in Bride and Groom
The WPJA contest judges presented Kent Meireis, a Montana, 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.
2008 BRIDES Magazine Judges
Judges
- The candlelight casts a beautiful, soft shadow on the couple. The bride's expression shows they are in their own world and loving it. Pure romance. The photographer gently brings the viewer into the bride and groom's world. I like how you don't feel the photographer's presence.
