15th place in Kids (Being Kids)
The WPJA contest judges presented John Mazlish, 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.

- This image was an obvious choice. It combines a fun moment captured at its peak and is almost dripping in entry points and leading lines that land squarely on the adorable smile facing the camera. The girl with the braided yarn pigtails is the main character in this scene. She also appears to have made the catch in spite of her injured right wrist.
Wedding photographer John Mazlish, was awarded 15th place for photo 1663606 in the Kids (Being Kids) category for the WPJA's 2015 Q3 Photography Contest.
