8th place in Rehearsal Dinner
The WPJA contest judges presented John Hudetz, 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.

- This is a fun reaction photo of this bride and groom as musicians play behind them. The background is a little too dark. This photo captures a genuine moment, which I think can be hard in these types of settings. The foreground is a bit distracting, but it is still a powerful image.
