3rd place in Culture/Religious Customs
The WPJA contest judges presented Nick Fancher, a Ohio, 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.

- The dark-muted tones around the bride make her stand out in her creamy, elegant dress. Love how the photographer framed this moment in their camera. I also like the added bouquet and the extra hand holding onto the bride. Glad they kept it a color photograph.
