The WPJA contest judges presented Erin Beach, a California, 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 Q3 Photography Contest Judges

Judges

  • The photographer positioned him/herself to capture a nice moment. Everyone looking at the man reacting to the drink added to the photo. A well-composed, storytelling moment.
  • I love this moment. It’s a photo you can linger over...see it anew each time. The man in the corner offering an encouraging hand to “keep drinking.” Another raises his glass in encouragement. A woman “feels his pain,” while the erstwhile King and Queen wear their party crowns practically oblivious to the unfolding drama behind. The King appears to have lost something. It’s a fun and delightful moment.
