12th place in Ceremony
The WPJA contest judges presented James Boddington, a Victoria, Australia 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.

- Funny shot. I have to say that here is an example where the subject and the expressions of the people make the picture. It's just a strange picture and the photographer truly emphasized what's going on, to say the least. It's just comical, but also a good contrast between derrieres and the wedding guests
