Wedding photographer Daniel Martin Garcia, was awarded 13th place for photo 1319586 in the Getting Ready category for the WPJA's 2013 Q4 Contest.

The WPJA contest judges presented Daniel Martin Garcia, a Leon, Spain 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 liked the relationship captured between the bride and her mom(?). There is a great dynamic between these two people that was caught by the photographer. The layering in the image was nice, as was the touch of humor.
