3rd place in Ring Details
The WPJA contest judges presented Peter Kwan, 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.

Judges
- I like the composition of this and the slight holding of the hands, giving it a sweet gesture around the detail of the ring. It adds a human element to the detail and makes it rise to the top for me. It has a nice, natural, feel to it - which I like.
