1st place in Engagement Portrait
The WPJA contest judges presented Emily Porter, a West Virginia, 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.

- What an exquisite portrait. The photographer was able to capture their intimacy without overpowering the scene with his or her presence. I like the off-center composition too.
- A great example of when to pull out the long lens. Beautifully captured.
