1st place in Food & Drinks
The WPJA contest judges presented Jenna Shouldice, a British Columbia, Canada 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.

- The moment champagne pops is a great moment to capture. It has lots of energy. Everyone's expression is great too.
- I love the straight strobe’s effect on this image, highlighting the spray of champagne into pearls of spewed celebration. But I particularly like the balance of ambient and artificial light which adds depth and interest to the photo.
