1st place in Other Vendors
The WPJA contest judges presented Dragan Zlatanovic, a Pordenone, Italy 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.

- What a great moment, it says so much about the energy and gala of the event. Makes you wonder if they're playing "In Heaven There Is No Beer".
- Photographer captures a great sense of fun as the accordion players are hoisted in the air to perform. The photographer frames a couple nicely between them to add dimension to the image. The black and white image has a wonderful European documentary feel to it.
