3rd place in Humor
The WPJA contest judges presented John Prutch, a Washington, 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
- There's nothing in this image to distract from the main attraction, the pucker. Perfect. Some kisses, like this one, are meant to be seen, not felt. This image is so simple, but exactly what was needed to show this moment. I think good photographs are ones we can all relate to, and I think we can all certainly do that here.
