The WPJA contest judges presented Mark Wallis, a Derbyshire, United Kingdom 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.

  • The raw emotion is the strength of this image, but the juxtaposition is really nice and adds to the storytelling strength of the image.
  • I've seen a lot of photos like this but none that so aptly expressed the "pride and joy" of a dad to his daughter. It's a wonderful moment that has been reduced to one face that registers a sentiment felt by countless other dad's on their daughter's "big day."
