3rd place in Bride
The WPJA contest judges presented Brian Wedge, a California, 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.

- All of the bride’s emotions are visible in her body language. This is a moment that all brides hope for on their big day. A touching moment as a bride views her reflection on her momentous day.
