9th place in Reception
The WPJA contest judges presented Noah Wolf, a Minnesota, 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.

Judges
- This photographer gets points for seeing beyond the obvious. Looking for something different pays off in a big way here. I don't know a married man who hasn't done this with his wedding ring, especially when it is such a new feeling on the big day. Nice find. Composing tighter, or perhaps horizontally, while keeping the depth of field down could have helped this image however.
