6th place in Reception
The WPJA contest judges presented Neil Cowley, a North Carolina, 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
- You know when it's there; a great moment with great light combined with a great moment. All that was needed for a great photo. Images like this make it seem so simple. Most of us know better. This is an opportunity to make a wonderful image. Kudos to the photographer for not allowing it to pass unnoticed.
