10th place in Creative Portrait
The WPJA contest judges presented Edmund Tham, a Selangor, Malaysia 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.

- I'm not really quite sure what to say about this photo. It wasn't until the second time I saw the photo that I caught a little something extra. And then I got a little something else. And again, and again, and again and again. This photo is either one giant coincident, or perfectly staged. It was a photo that kept on giving. I'm not exactly sure who the groom is, but I hope it's the man the bride is looking at!
