The WPJA the Wedding Photojournalist Association a professional organization of the best photojournalists and wedding photographers from around the world. The members have a distinctive artistic vision towards wedding photography , leaders in the industry,  their candid, documentary approach are inspirational .  So with that, Im proud  that my peers have chosen one of my images .  <\/p>\n<p>It really was an amazing wedding day for London based couple Dan and Darja,  less than thirty minutes before the photograph was taken the sun was shining  &#8230; then the &#8216; Ghostbusters &#8216; cloud on the horizon headed towards us &#8230; with a lot of rain ! . Staff helped with umbrellas .   As pleased as i was with the umbrella photo , the kiss photo was also challenging  being so dark and with dark umbrellas I had to make my way forward . As you can imaging it was very difficult to see anything so I stepped forward for the shot  &#8230;   the third shot here was taken by my daughter Elle , just  at 13 years old   at every wedding I can take her on she exceeds herself  , if there was a little more umbrella and a little more space  , I think there would be another winning photographer in the family .  Elle is always a winning photographer with me.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ianjohnsonphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/essex-award-winning-photographer.jpg\" alt=\"essex-award-winning-photographer\" title=\"essex-award-winning-photographer\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ianjohnsonphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/essex-award-winning-photographer.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.ianjohnsonphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/essex-award-winning-photographer-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ianjohnsonphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/essex-award-winning-photographer-285x190.jpg 285w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ianjohnsonphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/award-winning-wpja-photographer.jpg\" alt=\"award-winning-wpja-photographer\" title=\"award-winning-wpja-photographer\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ianjohnsonphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/award-winning-wpja-photographer.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.ianjohnsonphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/award-winning-wpja-photographer-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ianjohnsonphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/essex-wedding-photographer.jpg\" alt=\"essex-wedding-photographer\" title=\"essex-wedding-photographer\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ianjohnsonphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/essex-wedding-photographer.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.ianjohnsonphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/essex-wedding-photographer-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ianjohnsonphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/elle-wedding-photo.jpg\" alt=\"elle-wedding-photo\" title=\"elle-wedding-photo\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1301\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ianjohnsonphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/elle-wedding-photo.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.ianjohnsonphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/elle-wedding-photo-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --><\/p>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.addthis.com\/bookmark.php?v=250&amp;username=xa-4c6a79653fec3371\" title=\"Bookmark and Share\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s7.addthis.com\/static\/btn\/v2\/lg-share-en.gif\" width=\"125\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Bookmark and Share\" style=\"border:0\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><!-- AddThis Button END --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WPJA Im extremely proud to say that I have my first Gold medal with the WPJA .
