10th place in Kids (Being Kids)
The WPJA contest judges presented Stefan Segers, a Zuid Holland, Netherlands 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.

Judges
- A beautiful moment enhanced by the shallow depth of field. It begs us to wonder about the story here, but we do know that the adult world of the wedding is paralleled in some way in the world of children. Also, the white arm on black coat, black brush against white sky, all works. Dream-like.
