7th place in Food & Drinks
The WPJA contest judges presented David Murray, a Georgia, 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.
2011 Q4 Contest Judges
Photographer's Comment
It was an interesting moment to see the balance of the uniformed guests as they looked at the majestic sea creatures, while another guest ate sushi. I had to wait several minutes for the great whale shark to pass by and just kept my fingers crossed that everyone in front would hold their places. It was a colorful, humorous moment that mimics life itself.
