2nd place in Bride Getting Ready
The WPJA contest judges presented Ben Benvie, a Ontario, Canada 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 loved this shot as soon as I saw it. The gesture, and spontaneity in the bridesmaids is genuine and I love the crop on the bride. There is no need to see the brides face or her entire body. The photographer really did a nice job with this.
