4th place in Dress/Fashion
The WPJA contest judges presented Maribeth Romslo, 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.

- Fun to look at and study. Wish the depth of field would have also been as sharp on the hands as on the bracelet. The photographer has captured the sparkle and ornate details of the bride's dress. It is also a great moment. In a bringing together of two cultures, the ancient practice of painting the bride's hands with henna meets the sparkle of a modern day western wedding dress. Both are given almost equal consideration in this photograph, despite the hands being in the foreground of the picture. Love the French manicure and the Indian symbolism.
