14th place in Ceremony
The WPJA contest judges presented Frédéric Béhar, 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.

Photographer's Comment
On leaving the church all eyes converge on the wedding couple. My eye stopped at this "little maid of honor" looking at this adult world, surprised by so many sounds and excitement around it. By framing the child tight and cutting the heads of adults, I stressed the size of this young girl. I thus reinforced her status as a child. Her expression did the rest.

Judges
- A young girl’s pride is captured at the perfect angle isolating her from the adults around her.
