The WPJA contest judges presented Gerhard Nel, a Zuid Holland, Netherlands 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

  • Nice job of seeing and going beyond the obvious to capture this image. Capturing the little boy's body language amidst that of the adults trying to match their stride for stride was a thoughtful decision on the part of the photographer to choose to shoot from behind the group. This is an image that succeeds on every level.
