7th place in Silhouettes / Shadows and Good Light
The WPJA contest judges presented Jennifer Cody, 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
The groomsmen were waiting for the bridesmaids to finish their touchups and I noticed this moment - groom in the middle - in a great position for a silhouette against the water. I had to quickly stop down to get the right look as the moment didn't last long.
Judges
- This photograph has great body language. Again I don't know if these folks are important in this particular wedding story, but capturing the body language of the group and taking advantage of the light made a good photograph.
