Viana do Castelo
Wedding Photography Award - 2200951
"Exposing for the highlights and letting the rest go dark, though still with a bit of detail, was an excellent way to highlight the bride as she arrives for the ceremony. The lower-thirds composition allows the solemn lighting in the church to form a frame of shadows that further accentuates her entrance."
The WPJA is pleased to present Portugal wedding photographer Luis Efigénio with an official Master Piece Award as recognition for exceptional wedding photojournalism at Viana do Castelo.
The very best documentary-style wedding photographers from around the world submit their best pictures to the Wedding Photojournalist Association’s photography contests because they appreciate having the opportunity to be awarded in this field. Their pictures are scrutinized by some of the most notable and respected working photojournalists and picture editors in the news industry (not the wedding industry). Winning in these contests is a true accomplishment for a professional wedding photographer.
