8th place in Reception
The WPJA contest judges presented Julie Gelfand, a 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.

- I like the moment going on here. My guess was that this photographer saw an interesting perspective, and came away with an image with a very nice moment. Looks like a very nice surprise, and I'm glad the photographer was ready for it when it happened.
