3rd place in First Dance
The WPJA contest judges presented Joseph Kohn, 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.

- Excellent image and use of space. This is a good example of what you can get when you pull back from the subject and try to capture them in situ. It still has a lovely intimacy and the use of the strobe light is particularly effective.
Wedding photographer Joseph Kohn, was awarded 3rd place for photo 54656 in the First Dance category for the WPJA's 2006 Winter.
