The WPJA contest judges presented Ryan Brenizer, a United States 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.

  • Great moment! We really get the sense that there was a party going on! Photographer was in the perfect spot with the perfect lens.
  • This is such a great moment but the flash hurts it. The floor is so bright it’s distracting. I know there was probably no other way to shoot it but it’s hard to hold it up to the other pictures with better exposure. I’m surprised the people around him don’t seem to be more entertained because it looks pretty hilarious. Great catch by the photographer but maybe a little easier on the flash if possible next time.
