4th place in Mobile Devices
The WPJA contest judges presented Brett Butterstein, 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.

- The distinctive light of a device defines the face of our young subject getting away from the doldrum of adults partying. I particularly like how the magenta light on the childʼs face contrasts with the yellows, greens and orange color spilling across place settings on a table. Itʼs interesting how color becomes a juxtapositional element and takes center screen to create a moment.
