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.

It tells a complete story and has emotion and humor. It would have been improved by cropping about ½ inch off the top of the frame – don't need to see and get involved with that triangle of white dots in the ceiling in the background.
