10th place in Getting Ready
The WPJA contest judges presented Kristy Walker, 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.

- This picture shows the bride's moment of composure and preparation for her big day. And the color of her bouquet really pops off her dress. I am fascinated by the tension in this straight forward image. A refreshingly different take on pre-wedding jitters.
