9th place in Taste
The WPJA contest judges presented Tracey Taylor, a Tokyo, Japan 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
- There’s a quirky beauty to this upended toast, as composition makes visual play of time- honored salutations. As each goes “bottoms up” with their glasses, they perform a faceless dance with tradition. The quaint background setting helps sell this image - eying the ceiling fixture mimics the triangular shapes found in the scene played out beneath it.
