1st place in Silhouettes / Shadows and Light
The WPJA contest judges presented Clinton James, a Washington, 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.

- Gorgeous, scenic photograph that incorporates natural beauty and a private moment. Can a scene be enough to evoke a sense of mood, place and time? This image is timeless and beautiful in composition and feel. It is what the photographer saw and why still images will matter long after the video has been put on the shelf.
