4th place in Kids (Being Kids)
The WPJA contest judges presented Martin Beddall, a West Sussex, United Kingdom 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
- Could a bride and groom ask for anything as lovely as the gift of an innocent and soulful hug request (from a little tyke we must presume is their own) on their wedding day? It’s the simple moment like this that kept me moving forward as a young photographer, simply knowing that every day I came to work afforded me a chance for the simple grace of a real moment.
