The WPJA contest judges presented Omar Berr, a Lima, Peru 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.

- Such a simple image, yet it captivates me as I sit and stare at it. A detail of the bride’s eye, perfectly set off by the curl in her hair. It causes the viewer to imagine what she is thinking, and engaging a view to sit and stare at an image is no easy task.
