4th place in Ceremony
The WPJA contest judges presented Sarah Whitmeyer, 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.

Photographer's Comment
We had a heads up that the groom was going to do this because we documented him earlier taping his shoes, so this shot was anticipated! I could've never imagined, however, that the reactions would be this great. Really, she had no idea!
