The WPJA contest judges presented Joeri van der Kloet, a Zuid Holland, Netherlands 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.

Photographer's Comment

It's funny that many people ask me how I took this shot, without any staging. Well, the couple used a bike to go to their venue and I just followed, also on a bike, with my camera attached to the steer. When they entered the light after this tunnel, I hit the shutter - with a slow shutter speed - and that's it. The movement of my bike did the rest.
