The WPJA contest judges presented Carl Bower, a Colorado, 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.

  • I like the way this image not only recorded a sweet moment but how the image itself reveals that moment. Imagine this same moment made with straight flash. You see, moments occur hundreds, if not thousands of times each day, but they are most effectively preserved and shared through skillful use of lighting and composition.
