1st place in Flowers/Decorations
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.
2013 Q3 Contest Judges
Judges
- I can almost feel the photographer's thinking in this picture--The flower truck--the tiny low door--there’s got to be a picture here. Where’s the best place to be? Now if only..."YES HE’S GOING FOR THE DOOR." My salute to a photographer’s good thinking.
- Great moment, interesting but not perfect composition (missing the window at the top).
- Quirky fun moment showing off the elaborate floral arrangements.
