9th place in Ceremony
The WPJA contest judges presented Benjamin Rusnak, a Florida, 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
- This is an image we all hope for when we are waiting to raise our camera. I can imagine thinking, "I sure wish some birds would fly past in the background." But, of course, 99% of the time that'll never happen so we go with the best we can get. Beyond those birds (that transforms this photo from okay to wow) is the wonderful saturated colors and composition.
