4th place in Ceremony
The WPJA contest judges presented Michael Albert, a British Columbia, Canada 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
Kids are very easy to photograph and I always keep an eye out for their antics. It can be overdone in the sense that you could easily spend a day photographing a few energetic children. But if you wait for them when they are calm (not as common as you may guess) they make for wonderful moments. This was photographed with a long lens somewhere around 200mm. ,
Judges
- This little boy looks like a little man. His curiosity is so adorable and makes you feel the same way. Classic detail - nice geometry and moment.
