The WPJA contest judges presented Kate McElwee, a Massachusetts, 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.

- It's one of those photos where you wish you had taken it or even thought of shooting it, the drips from the dress add to the drama from the single shoe hurrying to her wedding. The feeling of anticipation is remarkable.
- I could say it rained on the wedding day or an image could show it in an artistic, beautiful way. This image is why a professional wedding photographer brings so much to a shoot. The details of the day can truly tell a story. Very nice photo.
