3rd place in Ceremony
The WPJA contest judges presented Simon Ho, a Hong Kong S.A.R., China 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
- I love the fact that it feels like the photographer is in the car with the bride, which gives us the chance to see the wedding day through their eyes. The framing through the car window is perfect.
- It all comes together in this picture with the bride and her girls framed so nicely from the perspective of inside the car.
