8th place in Bride and Groom
The WPJA contest judges presented Everett Ayoubzadeh, a Minnesota, 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.

Judges
- In this beautiful setting, the bride and groom kick back with a few beers. We love that they seem like the only guests at the wedding. A nicely framed and timed moment of the bride and groom drinking as they eat their wedding dinner. A straight documentary photo of an event that is not usually picture-worthy, but the expressions help to convey a relaxed mood.
