4th place in Animals
The WPJA contest judges presented Pinna Lauhachai, a Thailand 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've got to admit that an elephant at a wedding has got to be a rare event. A nice moment of a the hug by the Pachyderm towards the groom or groomsman. A clear winner, this picture rose to the top immediately. Not every day you see an elephant at a wedding first of all but the photographer captured such a great moment and a wonderful expression. This is an unexpected wedding moment. The photograph makes me want to know more. Great moment between man and elephant. A surprise photo.
