14th place in Emotion
The WPJA contest judges presented Elaine Soong, a Alberta, Canada 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
- This is such a great, joyous moment caught in a bit of a different way than most of the other photographs. The composition is tight, framed a bit unusually but captures the great smiles and facial expressions and the lines of the woman's clavicle combined with her necklace add a spark of elegance.
