2nd place in Weather
The WPJA contest judges presented Melissa Prosser, 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.
2013 Q3 Contest Judges
Judges
- A fun picture on what looks like a warm evening and the photographer was ready to make the picture. The old photographer's term “F 8 and be there” still holds true. The photographer was there to make the picture.
- The movement and expression makes me feel like I'm there. Her expression, the flowing veil and the woman walking by putting her hand up captures the movement and spontaneity of the moment.
