The WPJA contest judges presented Joeri van der Kloet, a Zuid Holland, Netherlands 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.

Photographer's Comment

This particular image was shot with a 50mm lens and that means I was pretty close to the couple. It also means the perspective is quite natural. For me, one of the most important things as a wedding photographer is being able to blend into the crowd. Working with a small camera, without flash, and behaving not like a typical photographer is crucial. My pictures are all about emotion and capturing them in a natural way, without huge telephoto lenses. I just love how bride and groom are literally laughing out loud…
