1st place in Wildcard Portrait
The WPJA contest judges presented Sephi Bergerson, a Goa, India 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
- Beautiful and captivating. The tight, evocative composition gives this photo a memorable edge.
- Darkness…light…shocking blue eyes, very red lips. This image is as jarring as it is simple. A face emerges out of the darkness with striking patterns and color. She wears a veil of shadows.
