19th place in Ceremony
The WPJA contest judges presented Carlos Varela, a 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 image really gives a nice sense of place. The smallish wedding adds a hint of informality. The big sky offers a feeling of living in the country. Add the TV antenna on the roof of the house and you've got a pretty nice slice of country living and a great ceremony shot to boot.
