3rd place in Emotion
The WPJA contest judges presented Jonathan Adams, a Kentucky, 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
- This photo is a winner because of the expression of the bride in the mirror. This photographer used the mirror to convey more information about the people, not simply as an artistic device. Perhaps a slight crop on the right to remove the dark line.
