1st place in Humor
The WPJA contest judges presented Rob Witzel, 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.

- I had no idea how many strange things happened under brides' dresses. But this woman crawling out from underneath was pretty strange and funny and the angle to catch it perfect. The photographer took a funny moment and made an excellent photo. Many entries in this category shot fun moments but failed to make them great. The low angle and good crop make this a fun, well-executed photo.
