7th place in Emotion
The WPJA contest judges presented Scott Lewis, a Pennsylvania, 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 photograph of an honest if somewhat ambiguous emotion. It isn't a reaction to something outside the man, but rather to his own feeling, experience or memory. It is clear that what he is feeling is pleasurable and perhaps slightly sweet which universalizes the image - who hasn't felt this way - especially about love? Nice layered composition provides a sense of privacy that reinforces the feeling that this is a personal or private experience.
