9th place in Ceremony
The WPJA contest judges presented Jason Spruill, a Georgia, 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
- Clean and simple, unpretentious moment between father(?) and daughter. Nicely composed and toned, especially considering that window/doorway light was so intense. Timing of a kiss can be critical, as just an instant on either side can make the moment feel off and therefore somewhat awkward.
