4th place in Architecture & Settings
The WPJA contest judges presented Andre Maier, a California, 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
- Grand, graphic and colorful setting.
- What an impressive garden for the gathering of friends and family to celebrate a new life through a wedding ceremony. Finding the right place to visually record the setting is almost as important to the day as the wedding itself. But, in this image, even better to capture that special moment when the bride is presented to her fiancé.
