1st place in Silhouettes and Shadows
The WPJA contest judges presented William Lambelet, a Herault (34) , 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
- The couple of faces that are visible are great — I love all the details.
- This is worth an "LOL" or two! The shadow of the fellow being tossed was just high enough to clear the frame but low enough for the sun to cast a shadow on the wall. But, more than anything else that could be said is that this is a wonderful job of "seeing" by the photographer.
