The WPJA contest judges presented David Posey, 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.

Photographer's Comment

This speaks for itself. What's interesting is that the groom had seen his bride prior to the ceremony in a "first look." That didn't prevent him from nearly breaking down when she walks down the aisle.

Judges

  • The emotion is barely under control--nice tension, and the rare vertical. It needed to be slightly cropped from the right.
