2nd place in Toasting/Speeches
The WPJA contest judges presented Marc Andrew, a 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.

- Great moment and nice composition. I get a real sense of the power of the toast through her expression. Wonderful expression on the face of the woman communicates that sweet things are being said. Selective focus perfectly placed in a low light situation. The slight discordance created by the action of the mic being passed behind her make it confusing about whether she is reacting to what the man in the picture just said or to something said someone out of the frame.
