2nd place in Creative Portrait
The WPJA contest judges presented Jessica Johnson, 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.

Judges
- I absolutely love this image. This is a perfect example of why the rule of thirds rule is not a rule at all. The dead-center framing – and then the environment around them. I can only sum it up with one word. Classic.
