2nd place in Dancing
The WPJA contest judges presented Julia Bailey, a Louisiana, 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.

- Great angle that really accentuates the movement. I love the white polka dots that play off of the white circular hula hoop. I also love that the photographer shows the audience, especially the man on the left that is working his imaginary hula hoop. Looks like an image from the 50's. Love the grainy black and white. One of those photographs every wedding album needs. She may be giving it all she's got to keep that hula hoop swirling, but even shot from the back, she's managed to maintain a sense of decorum in the process.
