7th place in Transportation
The WPJA contest judges presented Shalista Anderson, a South Dakota, 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.

- The photographer was smart to back off, showing that any environment is right if the couple is in love. Great way to really include the town atmosphere in the picture. A slight crop on the right would have made the picture a tad stronger.
