7th place in Creative Portraits
The WPJA contest judges presented David Wegwart, a Colorado, 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.

- Another favorite picture. The intensity of the woman's look – heck the fact that she's looking wide-eyed at US while being kissed – makes it hard to look away from this picture. Add a bald head to contrast with her dark hair, just the tips of her fingers, and you've got a picture full of tension and mood. Nice.
Wedding photographer David Wegwart, was awarded 7th place for photo 51861 in the Creative Portraits category for the WPJA's 2006 Summer.
