During the town hall ceremony in Paris, all eyes shift to the couple’s dog, who unexpectedly becomes the center of attention and the star of the day.

Photograph 2764308 was awarded to France wedding photographer Coralie Garavel for being the best in documentary wedding photography.

The WPJA is pleased to present France wedding photographer Coralie Garavel with an official Master Piece Award as recognition for exceptional wedding photojournalism at Paris Town Hall.

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).
