2nd place in Toasting
The WPJA contest judges presented Yu Hsin Seah, a Singapore 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.

Judges
- Clean and mean can be the best way to make the picture sometimes. In this frame, it works. Clean composition, the moment framed with the glasses rounds it out.
- The exuberance on the subject’s face makes this image. The layers of the image provide great depth. Shot from below adds to the feeling of excitement and fun.
