The WPJA contest judges presented David Murray, 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.

- Contrast in subject matter is what makes this image. Because the photographer composed this way, we aren't slapped in the face with the obvious, but because of the colors and subjects, the point of the image is very clear. It's one of those cases where the smallest element in a photograph can actually dominate the viewers attention because it is so different.
