Wedding photographer Jacob Hannah, was awarded 1st place for photo 1648311 in the Musicians & DJs category for the WPJA's 2015 Q2 Photography Contest.

The WPJA contest judges presented Jacob Hannah, a Vermont, 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.

2015 Q2 Photography Contest Judges

Judges

  • The bride and groom do a great job of framing the band as they play for them.
  • I like the way that rocking New Orleans style band takes to a stage created by the book-end framing formed, curtain-like, by those happy dancers. The low depth of field was the right approach to visually augment the emphasis on the musicians.
