The WPJA contest judges presented Michelle Cabrera, a Illinois, 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.

- Nice details and angle of the capture. For me, the man on the left is disturbing the picture. Better if you crop it.
- This was very close to taking top honors from me. Such great seeing by the photographer to catch that little detail as the bride is on the move. The fact that the garter is black, slightly unusual I think, helps to bring your eye there and really highlights the fact that the photographer was paying attention to details. Great photo, a classic!
