1st place in Ceremony
The WPJA contest judges presented Noah Wolf, a Minnesota, 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.

Judges
- I liked this picture a lot. I thought that it was one of those classic wedding moments. This picture has a ton of emotion and all the funny, exciting moments. I love the composition. Each person in the photograph is showing a different emotion which adds to the total success of the image. Again, there's humor in the photograph and almost envy and awkwardness and caring and power and wealth. I like all the people in the picture. The gestures and expressions in this image are great from the bride's hand on her chest to the woman on the left's hand just arched a bit to the hand on the bride's elbow.
