6th place in Getting Ready
The WPJA contest judges presented Todd Pellowe, a Kentucky, 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.

- The separation of light and dark in this image, and the shallow depth of field help to make the detail of the hands much more emphatic. I like this image because it speaks to the support of friends and loved ones on a a very special day. Simply a beautiful moment kept simple.
