1st place in Ceremony
The WPJA contest judges presented Maykol Nack, a Santa Catarina, Brazil 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.
2015 Q2 Photography Contest Judges
Judges
- This photo is all about shapes, but it captures the scene really well. Great composition of all the elements upon arriving at the church.
- This image has an iconic feel to it that describes the majority of weddings that occur worldwide - with no elaborate entourage or vehicle and no romantic setting. The photographer captured a moment with precision. The bride has arrived. Tonight her day begins.
