1st place in Reception
The WPJA contest judges presented Jocemar Voss Kovacs, a Santa Catarina, Brazil 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
- One heck of a picture!! The photographer got back in order to make a picture. I have no idea where he gained the height but it was the perfect place to be. The timing is perfect. The flash by someone who was not getting the photo is unfortunate, but it doesn't prevent this from being a top photograph.
