3rd place in Humor
The WPJA contest judges presented Britta Trygstad, a North Dakota, 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.

- This fantastic image quickly rose to the top. The rock almost looks artificial (out of a star trek set). The groom's expression and body are fantastic as is the bride's holding her bouquet and beverage. Great moment and well composed. I assume the subjects were taking a break from a portrait session but the photographer stayed on task. Excellent job
