5th place in Engagement Portrait
The WPJA contest judges presented Khampha Bouaphanh, a 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
- Creative and fun approach. Love the blurred background. Nice job.
- This is a fun-filled photograph that the photographer creatively made by getting on the ride with the couple. The photographer captured a terrific moment that is emphasized because of the slow shutter speed and blurred background. Very nice.
