9th place in Ceremony
The WPJA contest judges presented Petr PeLucha, 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.

Photographer's Comment
I took this photo at a small wedding of beloved Asian couple in Klementinum chapel in Prague. Newlyweds reflection is in the polished piano.
Judges
- Whoa! What a room! Not to mention the photo itself which has become the moment in a sense. It’s the composition, light and color that dance within a gilded room around the straight-backed subjects who appear so statuesque, they mimic the room itself as though they have always been there.
