9th place in Getting Ready
The WPJA contest judges presented Walter van Dusen, a Connecticut, 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 takes a good photographer to make a slice of time tell a story. This photo speaks to us all even if we don't know all the facts and it does that without fanfare. It's times like these where a good eye and a camera are all that's needed to help us share in this lovely moment.
