The WPJA contest judges presented Emin Kuliyev, a New York, 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.

Judges

  • I am not a big fan of the wide angle that warps the edges of your frame. I know clients don't always like that look, and think something is wrong with the photo. BUT I thought the scene captured and the angle were interesting and made this image worth noting.
  • This is a beautiful image filled with information. You could waste a fair amount of time merely surveying the scene, which due to the super-wide aspect appears to linger from one horizon to another like the sun on a long summer day. The composition is not obtrusive as the lens seems to unfurl the scene before us.
