Wedding Photography Award - 2740614

In a home in Shanghai, China, on the wedding day, the groom and his groomsmen participate in a fun game test, as paper money bursts from a money shooting gun, adding excitement and laughter to the celebrations.

Photograph 2740614 was awarded to China wedding photographer Seven Tao for being the best in documentary wedding photography.

The WPJA is pleased to present China wedding photographer Seven Tao with an official Master Piece Award as recognition for exceptional wedding photojournalism at Shanghai Groom and Groomsmen.
