1st place in Emotion
The WPJA contest judges presented Meg Baisden, a Florida, 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.

Judges
- I love the connection between them. The photographer captured the exact moment. It's a pretty tight, simple image that works very well. Great expressions and the photographer made this a strong photo by getting in close and filling the frame with the couple--all while using a shallow depth of field allowing the subjects to stand out from an otherwise distracting background.
