brian dorsey studios – new york wedding photographer – top 10 in the world – destination weddings

We’ve won an award in this quarter’s WPJA Photo Competition for a shot from Vanessa Britting and David Krumholtz’s celebrity packed wedding at The Plaza Hotel.

I’m a fan of the WPJA since the way they run their competition puts every Wedding Photojournalist on even footing.  Every member get’s the same limited number of entries so you can’t buy yourself an advantage like many photographers do in other competitions.  You also don’t name your photos or provide any additional information about the backstory.  If the photo doesn’t say it – it doesn’t factor into the judging.   You also can’t photoshop your image – so there’s none of that crazyness.  Get it right in the camera or go home.  Lastly, it is a true worldwide competition with thousands of photographers competing (it’s amazing how many great pj wedding images come from Eastern Europe!) so even a sixth place is pretty cool.  This is our 5th winner in WPJA contests.

p.s.  Can you spot the 3 videographers?

Earlier this year, we were featured in Professional Photographer Magazine’s Wedding Issue in their “Tips from the Experts” article.

That’s our image above – courtesy of Susan and Eric’s wedding at Cipriani 42nd Street.  Michelle Rago was responsible for the event design and Bently Meeker the lighting.
