16th place in Action
The WPJA contest judges presented Beth Keiser, 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.

Photographer's Comment
Nothing was more surprising to this Irish Catholic father of the bride than being lifted in the air during a fun Horah. His face shows all the excitement he was feeling and I was so happy to have a 20 mm wide angle lens on!
Judges
- Just a fun picture. Reminds me of a winning football coach being carried off the field. I want to be at this wedding; that's how much fun this looks.
