1st place in Humor
The WPJA contest judges presented Larry Stanley, a Montana, 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
This couple jumped at the opportunity of climbing into this library window for photos. The photos after they got installed in the windows are beautiful but the scramble to the top was the image that made me smile. And it seems it made the WPJA team [judges] smile as well! Thanks for the honors of 1st place.
