16th place in Humor
The WPJA contest judges presented Stacey Kane, a Maine, 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.

- The use of focus and the moment captured conspire to suggest a great 'story' behind the image. Also, without face the story it is suggesting becomes more allegorical and less literally about the two people shown. It would be better as a vertical, to get rid of the white space in the upper right and to show even more of the bride, who contrasts so well with the groom.
