8th place in Kids
The WPJA contest judges presented Bruce Benson, 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.

Judges
- We've seen kids do this hundreds of times at weddings. (Well, okay, I haven't been to hundreds of weddings, but I've still seen a lot of photographs like this one). But this photograph stands out for a number of reasons, including complimentary color palette, simple composition, and decisive moment. And you gotta love those pink shoes
