Wedding Photography Award - 2742157

At a reception venue in Upper Austria, vendors carefully transport the wedding cake while guests, lined up behind a hedge of roses, eagerly watch. The scene combines anticipation and beauty amidst the floral backdrop.

Photograph 2742157 was awarded to Austria wedding photographer Christiane Wolfram for being the best in documentary wedding photography.

The WPJA is pleased to present Austria wedding photographer Christiane Wolfram with an official Master Piece Award as recognition for exceptional wedding photojournalism at Upper Austria.
