Wedding Photography Award - 2706871

In Shanghai, China, a wedding photographer captures a touching moment at the ceremony location. Two pairs of "couples" emerge, as a young child bride and groom approach the actual bride and groom on the lush green grass.

Photograph 2706871 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.

The very top photojournalistic wedding photographers from around the world submit their top images to the Wedding Photojournalist Association’s photography competitions because they appreciate having the opportunity to be recognized in this field. Their images 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 competitions is a major accomplishment for a professional wedding photographer.
