8th place in Ceremony
The WPJA contest judges presented Jennifer Barnett, 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 moment. The unexpected angle helps this image separate itself from the majority of ceremony photos; good planning by the photographer to shoot from this spot. Though I might have preferred a somewhat softer background (perhaps another stop open?), I suspect the clients prefer it this way so that those in the seats are more recognizable.
