12th place in Lit Portrait
The WPJA contest judges presented Daniel Kudish, a Quebec, 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.

- It's interesting how the reflections and ambient light in this photo creates a scene that adds to the moment, never leaving us to wander aimlessly among what could have been distracting elements. This is the work of good photography and lighting because, besides composition, that added pop of a strobe, backlighting their faces brings it all home.
