5th place in Parents
The WPJA contest judges presented Roey Yohai, a 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 photographer shot the woman’s hair to blend in with the flower arrangements--you have to look twice to notice her presence. Love this picture! Her soft cotton candy hair echoes the other elements in the frame. A pleasing subdued tonal range compliments the photograph.
