11th place in Reception
The WPJA contest judges presented Derrick Ong, a Singapore 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
- The rule of thirds is etched on this image of geometric shapes. It’s a delightful collision of light and color, form and function that frames the group of people who form the purpose of the image. Or…do they? Think of this photo without those people and it would still be an intriguingly wonderful image of liner shape and form.
