14th place in Weather
The WPJA contest judges presented Gillian Reinhardt, a South Carolina, 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.
2013 Q3 Contest Judges
Photographer's Comment
I love this moment as the bride walks down the isle with her son and father. It's such a sweet scene as her son reaches across himself to cover his mother with the umbrella. It's a telling image of the bond between this mother and son. Shot with a Canon 1D Mark IV, 50mm f/1.2 lens, 200 @ f/3.5 ISO 400
