13th place in Humor
The WPJA contest judges presented Shane Carpenter, a Maryland, 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 image shows the insight of a thinking photographer, waiting and watching for the right moment. I loved the detail of the pair of legs one foot broken and the gentleman’s partner in danger of hers being broken as well. Great!
