8th place in Toasting/Speeches
The WPJA contest judges presented Kate McElwee, a Massachusetts, 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.

- This is a humorous image. I suspect we have all seen speakers who drop their notes one after another after each page has been read. In fact, I’ve seen some who have obviously tied the act to a certain flair and charisma as index cards fly like grass from a lawnmower. But, in this case, it appears the act is mere function to the finish. What a fun and simple moment.
