10th place in Getting Ready
The WPJA contest judges presented Alexa Maxine, a California, 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.

Photographer's Comment
I love shooting in Montana, there are so many beautiful and wild locations! This was at Spring Hill Pavilion, outside Bozeman. This groomsman was running late for the pictures, so he was scrambling to get ready, but the bathroom was occupied! I turned around and saw this moment, and had to laugh!
Judges
- Hilarious! Very unusual and quirky. Nice interplay between the cowboys and the dresser.
