Wedding Photography Award - 2692077

In this WPJA Honor Award-winning photo taken at a reception venue in East Flanders, Flanders, a wedding photojournalist captures a heartfelt moment as the sister of the bride recites a speech while the family listens attentively, reflected in a mirror.

Photograph 2692077 was awarded to Belgium wedding photographer Sven Soetens for being the best in documentary wedding photography.

The WPJA is pleased to present Belgium wedding photographer Sven Soetens with an official Master Piece Award as recognition for exceptional wedding photojournalism at Flanders.
