3rd place in Engagement Portrait
The WPJA contest judges presented Samo Rovan, a Slovenia 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.

- I ultimately chose this photo for the moment with the elderly women in the park. It was like having two portraits in one. I love contrasting and comparing elements and this photo did that for me in addition to being a nice portrait of the couple. I think this couple will really enjoy this photo for years to come.
