10th place in Emotion
The WPJA contest judges presented Adeline Leonti, a Quebec, Canada 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.

- How nice to see them share in a laugh. The bride appears ready to begin. The dad is too, though he may feel differently later when he “gives” her away. Weddings are a joyful event even when tears replace the laughter. This is a lovely, simple moment to be remembered. We should all be thankful for our cameras and the skills we’ve acquired to use them for good.
