4th place in Trash The Dress (TTD) Portrait
The WPJA contest judges presented Ingrid Firmhofer, a Germany 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
- This image is just timeless to me, perfectly executed and reveals a lot about "ending the day." I love, love, the body language and the exhale from the man is very subtle but perfectly captured. Great work capturing a classic image. Another one I would love to have a print of, it's just that timeless.
