1st place in Humor
The WPJA contest judges presented Michele Waite, 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.

- I LOVED this picture. One of my favorites of the enitre competition. A beautiful photograph with a completely unexpected surprise. Dramatic, funny and very unusual. We are left wondering how the kid got up there. Smart compositional thinking by the photographer to yield a surprising outcome.
