10th place in Getting Ready

Wedding photographer Henning Hattendorf, was awarded 10th place for photo 1009221 in the Getting Ready category for the WPJA's 2012 Q3 Contest.

The WPJA contest judges presented Henning Hattendorf, a Berlin, Germany 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

  • I was really happy with the number of images in this category that were classic photojournalistic moments, sometimes I see too many images relying on just cool composition. I was drawn to this image because it had nice layering AND a humorous moment.
