4th place in Kids (Being Kids)
The WPJA contest judges presented Peggy Stevinson Bair, a Kansas, 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.

- A wonderful documentary moment with a beautiful color palette. While some might criticize its centered composition and slightly tilted horizon, I think the imperfections add to a sense that the moment was a little out of the photographer's control which to my mind underscores the spontaneous and realness of the moment captured.
