14th place in Action
The WPJA contest judges presented Ken Luallen, a North Carolina, 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 just a funny moment that I'm sure the couple was very pleased that the photographer captured. Action doesn't always have to be tight to work, but a tighter crop in this image would help get us into the image a little sooner, and would get rid of a sky that isn't overly atrractive, and a car fender that adds nothing to the image.
