The WPJA contest judges presented Rene Gaviola, a British Columbia, Canada 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 think the light and the layers in this photo are great. Also nice expressions on the people in the background.
  • The layers were lovely and there was a nice moment of the women and I liked how one was pregnant, one was holding her belly and then there was the bride. Truly good seeing!
  • Lovely internal framing, though a top crop would have helped.
