The WPJA contest judges presented Vladimir Kastyl, a Czech Republic 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

  • A true photojournalist will follow their subject wherever they go. I was so pleased to see this storytelling moment. Well done and a great gift for the bride.
  • Many of the strongest images in the category are quite storytelling and make me curious to know the larger context. This image was beautifully executed. Great moments, light, composition - I even love the other person's feet there in the middle of the frame.
