14th place in Ceremony

Wedding photographer Ivan Franchet, was awarded 14th place for photo 70291 in the Ceremony category for the WPJA's 2008 Q4.

The WPJA contest judges presented Ivan Franchet, a France 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.

Judges

  • The photographer used the unexpected moment of the brides blowing veil to their advantage. Family and friends watching as the couple left the church was framed beautifully captured through her blowing veil. I wish the photographer had gotten lower to show at least one full face.
