Wedding photographer Justin Runquist, was awarded 1st place for photo 125316 in the Toasting category for the WPJA's 2009 BRIDES Magazine.

The WPJA contest judges presented Justin Runquist, a Illinois, United States 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.

  • When a picture of the bride as an awkward teen was projected on the wall, Runquist caught her reaction, a mix of humor and horror. Peak emotion jumps from the photo. I would love to know what toast was made that caused this intense reaction.
