13th place in Getting Ready
The WPJA contest judges presented Henrikas Kudirka, a Lithuania 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 picture of the bride peering out a shrouded window and getting to see her groom (assumed) arrive in his burst of excitement is fantastic. Kudos to the photographer for staying back and capturing a very nice moment from a perspective that took patience and timing.
