3rd place in Ceremony
The WPJA contest judges presented Samantha DePoy-Warren, 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.

- Just a great wedding moment. Is he looking to the heavens for confirmation of the vow he's about to take? Not sure if he's trying not to cry, or looking for a blessing, but it's a photograph of very deep, but quiet, emotion. Very funny! The close-up on just the two figures is great. Is the groom crying or praying? Nice composition.
