4th place in Taste
The WPJA contest judges presented Tara Theilen, a Nevada, 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.

Judges
- Love the action-reaction between the left side and right side of the frame. Nicely done.
- Action and reaction is a major part of good photojournalism. It's sometimes difficult to capture both in one photo, and this one does it well. A nice little moment between the couple, to the delight of their celebrants…all here in one frame.
