1st place in Humor
The WPJA contest judges presented Eric Francis, a 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.

- Great behind the scenes moment between the bride and a bridesmaid. While its funny to look at it also portrays any bride's desire to look her best on the day of the wedding. This image had a nice expression from the bride. This works as a nice unusual pre-wedding photo.
