6th place in Reception
The WPJA contest judges presented Philippe Wiget, a Zurich, Switzerland 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
- I’m always amazed at an image like this with so many elements and interactions reduced to a “simple” layer of light, color and composition to reveal a cohesive moment. In simpler words, almost every element in this scene had to be in the right place at the right time just like their photographer who pressed the shutter had to be.
