11th place in Portrait of Bridal Party
The WPJA contest judges presented Minifeel Lu, a Hsin-chu, Taiwan 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.

- My first thought when seeing this image was wondering how many rose petals were required as a backdrop. I suppose that's a photographer's lament that we think of the difficulty in creating an image before we actually "see" the image. But I quickly realized that this was a group photo elevated to something far more - it became experiential. It wasn't long before I could practically smell the roses.
