7th place in Wildcard Portrait
The WPJA contest judges presented Tina Wright, a Arizona, 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.
2016 Q1 Photography Contest Judges
Judges
- The lighting on this shot was fantastic, and well placed against the sunset sky. Extremely well composed, and a very dramatic image.
- This looks like a movie set, like “Gone With the Wind.” The lighting and backdrop highlight the bride and groom in this classic setting, like Hollywood stars upon their own stage.
