The WPJA contest judges presented Peter Greitzke, a Zurich, Switzerland 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.

- This image is pop-art with this surreal scene of balloons cast against the backdrop or red leather and a doctor's waiting room style potted plant. It truly suggests something found to the viewer. It's almost as though the photographer has found a secret room and made us privy to something upcoming. That's what I loved about this image, that it suggests a narrative that may or may not occur. My bet is on the room being cleared of balloons after being released into an unknown future as reception party ornaments or short-lived weather balloons.
