1st place in Groom Getting Ready
The WPJA contest judges presented David Wittig, a Illinois, 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 alignment of the three men lined up to tie their ties is nice. No one's face is hidden and all three are in different aspects of tieing the damn tie. There were a lot of 'team' readying pictures. I liked this one. It seems completely natural and well-composed. Good repetition with the guys intently putting on their ties. Good angle so that all the ties are visible.
