2nd place in Details
The WPJA contest judges presented Kellie Kano, a North Carolina, 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.

Judges
- Sign pictures are one of those things I try not to award, but sometimes you've just gotta do it. Actually this picture has a sign, but it's not really the main part of the image. The people in the background getting ready offer another dimension to the picture. This picture also is composed very well. It's really a complicated image, but it's shot so well it doesn't feel that way.
