3rd place in Parents
The WPJA contest judges presented Jane Shauck, a Connecticut, 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
Sometimes the stars align with the bride's dad blowing a kiss and mom smiling, helping her get dressed. I really like the composition and story telling nature of this photo.,
Judges
- There is a relationship between father and daughter that no one can take away. This image captures the chaos around them while the mother helps her daughter get ready and the bride stays fixated on her father.
