4th place in Great Natural Light
The WPJA contest judges presented Sarah Whitmeyer, a North Carolina, 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.

Photographer's Comment
I noticed the Bride and her father perfectly placed and ready to walk down the aisle and got this image. Still one of my favorites today.
Judges
- Great light makes this a great picture. The composition and subjects may change, but great light is just great light. The hardest part can be exposing properly.
