The WPJA contest judges presented Brendan Bullock, a Maine, 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.

- Wow. This was just a great detail – strong “seeing” by the photographer.
- Nice graphics and a good example of a photographer who's looking for photos everywhere.
- Throughout my career I tried all manner of juxtapositions of jet streams and airliners and never found that exact moment when it all came together perfectly in a clever composition. So I couldn’t resist a nod toward this image - the one that got away. Let’s hope the marriage soars as beautifully as this detail.
