7th place in Emotion
The WPJA contest judges presented Wayne Ng, a Singapore 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 image really captures the joy between this couple. The out of focus quality of the image works well here and doesn't feel like a technical malfunction but rather serves to convey the feel of the couple at that time. You don't feel the photographer's presence at all in this picture. Great photojournalism.
