5th place in Silhouettes / Shadows and Good Light
The WPJA contest judges presented Matthias Richter, a Niedersachsen, Germany 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.

There is just enough light on the bride's face, and barely enough detail to the see their body language....but ample enough to make this a wonderful image of a private moment that likely would have been destroyed by artificial light.
