9th place in Ceremony
The WPJA contest judges presented Amanda Wei, a 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 color and texture of this image is beautiful. It is a very well seen image that creatively uses the elements available to the photographer. It works on a literal as well as symbolic level. I only wish there had been a bit more light on the groom so he popped a bit more out of the background.
