11th place in Kids (Being Kids)
The WPJA contest judges presented Elias Papadopoulos, a New South Wales, Australia 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.

- Now here's a multi-layered photo that's fun to look at! The contrast between the presented world of the smiling-boy portrait on the wall with the yelping child in real life; the distracted bride trying to comfort one child while keeping track of another. The high key tones help us see the little critter looking out from behind the red chair. It's a complicated shot, well organized.
