18th place in Emotion
The WPJA contest judges presented Michele Rivera, 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.

- I like the mood created by the expression and subtle tear shot through the veil of this bride during the ceremony with the groom. Nice tight shot that blurs out the background leading us to her expression.
