7th place in Bridal Party
The WPJA contest judges presented Jennifer Cody, a 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.

Photographer's Comment
The groom, from Ireland, stopped for a few (okay several) pints before the ceremony - I tagged along to make some great images as he spent time with his brothers and nephews. They sat close to the window and I took advantage of the diffused natural light.
Judges
- The juxtaposition of the adult males and young boys is very sweet and gives the image a vintage feel. This just feels like a classic 1920-1940 PJ image. There's a very nice arch with the four in the foreground and the little boy peering over the top solidifies the image perfectly.
