5th place in Emotion
The WPJA contest judges presented Joelle Susan, a South 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.

- What makes this photo is that the photographer didn't just zoom in on the woman crying. You see that she is turned away from what the rest of the party is watching - the couple walking towards them. I like seeing the couple in the background. Makes for a great photo.
