The WPJA contest judges presented Max Pell, a Argentina 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 multi-layered image bears testimony to subtlety. The first layer is the bride pulling her new husband onto the dance floor to the cheers of attendees that create a second layer of information - all important to the moment. I love the balance of strobe and available light in this image. It was the ONLY way to record the wonderful mood and feel of the image.
