20th place in Action
The WPJA contest judges presented Samantha Alday, a Alabama, 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.

- Hilarious moment made by the bride's expression - she can't believe her eyes. Action and reaction in the same picture - good catch. The composition is a bit loose on the top, cropping down just a bit would eliminate some of the non-working space and give the image a better balance.
