The WPJA contest judges presented Michelle Otto, a 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.

  • Great moment that captures the humour. I like this photograph because of what it communicates. Moments like this – “May I see your ring? Oh, it's so lovely!” – happen all the time at weddings. But this bride is definitely not a material girl! She's in it for love. The composition is clean and contains only the essential elements needed to tell the story. The bride bending away to kiss her husband as the woman admires her ring makes the viewer smile. A nice moment.
