8th place in Ceremony
The WPJA contest judges presented Jacques Mateos, a France 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.

Judges
- This photograph asks a lot of questions because of the juxtaposition of people and the expressions on the faces. The man on the right with a seemingly saddened facial expression and clenched fists has his own story. Very interesting and the strong color of the walls accentuates the drama.
