5th place in Great Natural Light
The WPJA contest judges presented Paulina Garcia Hubard, a Mexico 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.

- Another one of my favorites from the first moment I saw it. The richness of the shadows - terrific! The sense of the walk with dad (assumed) just before the big moment and the bride looks back at herself in the mirror. The beauty of this natural light is it gives us just a few little pieces of light that tells us just enough, and the rest is left to be discovered in the shadows. And the shadows are open enough for us to glean that information.
