The WPJA contest judges presented Jeffrey Lau, 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.

Judges

  • Details are often shot kind of superficially by photographers and it was nice seeing some images that relied on style, humor and even moments with details. This picture offered up two of those three elements. The clasped fingers around the grooms neck are plainly and simply nice seeing. The composition and even the minimal use of color made this a top picture. I liked what this picture implied and that made it a powerful storytelling detail. Nice way to cover the bride and groom's dance.
