3rd place in Reception
The WPJA contest judges presented Scott Lewis, a Pennsylvania, 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.

- This image is beautifully composed, with the finger in the upper left quadrant, framed by the white space. The artwork on either side balance the frame, the bride in the middle, with the lines of the floor in a triangle pointing towards her completing the image. Some photographs work because all of the elements together tell a story and you know exactly what's happening. Others, like this one, make you ask questions and speculate.
