5th place in Lit Portrait
The WPJA contest judges presented Ben Pipe, a United Kingdom 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.

- This portrait has a feel of an old Rembrandt portrait — the color and the location of the light source. The shallow depth-of-field helps to focus the attention on the couple and diffuses the cityscape just enough. Very nice!
