7th place in Animals
The WPJA contest judges presented Preston Utley, a Colorado, 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.
2010 BRIDES Magazine Judges
Judges
- A true moment of a groom and his dog on his wedding day. The people in the background frame the moment perfectly and add some drama without being distracting. Well exposed, good use of light and nice moment. The framing feels a little awkward, but the moment and warm colors are nice. Tender moment with his pet. Cropping white sign off top right would improve the frame.
