1st place in Ceremony
The WPJA contest judges presented Piotr Gajewski, a Wielkopolskie, Poland 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.

- The slow shutter speed really adds a sense of drama and intensity to the scene, elevating it above numerous other really great photos of people getting pelted with petals/rice/bubbles/rain when leaving the church. Kudos to the photographer for taking a chance on something different.
