3rd place in Toasting/Speeches
The WPJA contest judges presented Nan Zhao, a China 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.

- The symmetrical framing works well with the rectangular page of notes the man is holding. The man’s arms become the leading lines into the image, as well as the nicely framed crop of his head. The background mirrors the rectangular shape of the page of notes he holds and that luscious color entertains the eye.
