5th place in Humor
The WPJA contest judges presented Justin Mott, a Bangkok, Thailand 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
- The empty chairs say it all. Everyone has gone home except this guy who passed out long ago.
- I loved this. It was a little off technically – color balance and depth of field, which kept it out of the top 3, but it is a nice moment and why you stay late at an event like this. Well done.
