6th place in Groom Getting Ready
The WPJA contest judges presented Torey Storer, a Washington, 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.

- I rarely come across an image that leaves me mystified as to the reasons why I keep turning to it. Most can be quickly described as poignant moments, personal interpretations of a universal theme, a window into the endless light and shadows bordered by life and death. But occasionally there comes an image that simply "is." Nonetheless, I can say that the framing, composition and lighting is the perfect package for a photograph that speaks to me in relative silence. Kudos to the photographer.
