7th place in Action
The WPJA contest judges presented Anthony Ku, a 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 Q1 Judges
Judges
- I like the motion, the action, the expression, the moment. It's theatrical but not set up...a great decisive moment. What are they waiitng for? Like those frozen in time statues who were made still by the Wonder Twins or something like that. Do they really want to catch the thing or are they avoiding it? This photogaph captures that male bachelor feeling that I think we all have felt as we go through this ritual.
