2nd place in Humor
The WPJA contest judges presented Joe Milton, a Oregon, United States 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
- A very funny picture with the bride looking on in bewilderment at the antics of her new husband. This unusual photograph made the top five because it was different and unexpected. Losing part of the guy's hands hurts this photograph a little.
