11th place in Getting Ready
The WPJA contest judges presented Franck Boutonnet, a France 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.

- Quiet moments before the wedding are as important to the wedding narrative as the ceremony itself. A bride taking a last look in the mirror is a timeless image. Here the photographer underexposes to let the room go dark and the bride and her small mirror become the focal point. It’s a lovely composition.
