1st place in Reception
The WPJA contest judges presented Christobal Perez, a North Carolina, 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.

- This is a surprising, fun and energetic picture that projects energy into the future for the couple. It's like they are sitting above the city. I enjoy pictures that transcend the actual scene and this picture does just that. The reflection and light and placement of the couple floating above the city makes you think they are going to make it and be happy in their life and together they can take on anything.
