In Paris, Île-de-France, a bride adjusts her wedding gown near a window as she prepares for her big day, captured by a wedding photographer.

The WPJA is pleased to present France wedding photographer Ronan Jégaden with an official Master Piece Award as recognition for exceptional wedding photojournalism at Paris Bride.

Their photos are scrutinized by some of the most notable and respected working photojournalists and picture editors in the news industry (not the wedding industry).
