2nd place in Reception
The WPJA contest judges presented Rob Witzel, a Florida, 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
- I like the energy in this photo. Looks like some party! The faces of the women are great and I think the movement in the ambient exposure also adds to the topsy-turvy feeling. Good use of flash to balance the ambient light and capture the decisive moment of the glass in the air, as well as nice expressions.
