15th place in Toasting/Speeches
The WPJA contest judges presented Eric Cable, a Oregon, 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 example of great lighting, this time strobed with lots of warm ambient. The composition is flawless. My eye goes directly to the guy serving up the drinks since he's framed so well against the dark suits behind him. Also, the leading lines of the hands coming into the shot glasses help direct you to him as well. I also want to add that this picture's not just about the technical qualities... it's a great moment that this couple will be thankful for having. Preserving moments is what it's all about, right?
