14th place in Creative Portrait
The WPJA contest judges presented Kathy Miller, 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.

- Could be mistaken for a Grant Wood painting, this photo is strong because of the monochromatic scene, the art direction from the photographer and the general sense of quiet resolve that is captured. I think the inclusion of the lamp on the left hurts the symmetry of the image.
