13th place in Reception
The WPJA contest judges presented Kevin Tran, a France 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.

- This one rose to the top over similar images. Loved the fact that you don't see the groom's face. The faces of all of the guests throwing him tell the story just as well and you get to use your imagination a little as you wonder how happy he must be. The all-white tux and jacket flying really help to make this image.
