12th place in Humor

Wedding photographer Philip Stephenson, was awarded 12th place for photo 1349831 in the Humor category for the WPJA's 2013 Q4 Contest.

The WPJA contest judges presented Philip Stephenson, a France 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

  • Dreams of butterflies flitter through his dreams, accompanied by a few snorting rattles borne upon too many “sugar plums” lulling this grandfather/uncle/Aunt Mabel’s boyfriend from the Shady Oaks Retirement Center that you simply had to invite…and a sharp-eyed photographer shoots the frame more as gag than anything else. And then, drum roll please…it wins in an international wedding photojournalism competition. Damn the butterflies. Full speed ahead to the end of this infernal wedding.
