3rd place in Great Natural Light
The WPJA contest judges presented Eric Malemanche, 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.

Judges
- This is a beautiful, inviting photograph with the right balance of light which appears to come from four sources: the illumination of the building, the candles, an incandescent source gently falling in streaks across the foreground and, of course, that lovely late evening sky. I chose this picture, not only because it has great use of natural light, but also because, well… I just like it.
