12th place in Ceremony
The WPJA contest judges presented Emily Sterne, a Massachusetts, 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.

- Another ceremony image with a lot of humor. I love the composition with the heads of the bride and groom cropped out as they both reach for folks in the crowd. The couple holding hands is also a nice touch.
