3rd place in Using Available Light
The WPJA contest judges presented Olivier Lalin, a wedding photographer, with this Master Piece Award as recognition for top wedding photojournalism in the industry.
The leading documentary wedding photographers in the world enter their best photos to the Wedding Photojournalist Association's photography competitions. They want their wedding reportage photographs to be evaluated and selected by some of the most notable and respected working picture editors and photojournalists in the news industry (these are not wedding photographers or other WPJA members judging their work). Winning these competitions is a true accomplishment for a wedding photographer.

- This was a gorgeous shot. I loved the use of the bridge as a backdrop and the crop works so well as the bridge fades into the right side of the frame. Unique vista behind couple makes image. Wished photographer had moved bridge from behind couples head.
