9th place in Action
The WPJA contest judges presented Christophe Viseux, a Ontario, Canada 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 Q4 Judges
Judges
- There were many, many bouquet throwing images in this contest, but this one was the best. Perfect composition. Cool use of shadows. Perfect moment with the bouquet landing in between the two buildings and about two feet from the outstretched hands (and in the shadow). The bride is nice, but the topper on the image is the little girl in the polka dot dress walking out of the frame on the left. Oblivious to the whole thing. Amazing. As flower tosses go, this one smokes.
