6th place in Parents
The WPJA contest judges presented Joyelle West, a Massachusetts, 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.

- With a pop of fuchsia, the photographer frames the new couple between the loving parents. A special detail image that expresses hope for the bride and groom, a continued love between the parents themselves, and maybe a lesson in endurance for the young couple. But then, maybe I’m just reading into this. I like the ideas it conveys and it’s a superb photo.
