3rd place in Portrait of Bridal Party

Wedding photographer Samo Rovan, was awarded 3rd place for photo 939416 in the Portrait of Bridal Party category for the WPJA's 2012 Q2 Contest.

The WPJA contest judges presented Samo Rovan, a Slovenia 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

  • Fun and unusual take on a wedding portrait. The uncomfortable expressions on the faces of the women lined up is a cute contrast to the bride and groom ready to go.
  • Great setting of a scene to tell a story that is, I am guessing, very specific to this couple. I would have thought about shooting it with a telephotos to make it more like the sports/news photos that it is playing on as well as having much less bright sky.
