8th place in Getting Ready
The WPJA contest judges presented Minnow Park, a New York, 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.

Photographer's Comment
For many grooms putting on a bow tie is a novel affair. If they are brave enough to not wear a clip on, and none of the groomsmen can help, YouTube is always the answer. In this case, no one knew, but were all determined to learn together however long it took.

- Simple, symmetrical and very funny! Including the pool stick and balls really help to "man-up" this moment as the guys learn to tie their ties. This photo also makes a statement on how things have changed with modern technology.
