7th place in Reception
The WPJA contest judges presented Denise Cregier, 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.

- Great moment. Normally, or often, photographers go in for the close-up or the “kill”. To stay back with a wide lens and give us landscape and greater context for what is happening works really well. Receptions yield an abundance of crazy alcoholic induced moments. Whether he is sober or not, it is an unusual way to experience the festivities.
