8th place in Getting Ready
The WPJA contest judges presented Craig Wolfrom, a Idaho, 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.

- This picture has very simple composition. For me, it is one of the funniest pictures in the contest, because after seeing it, I imagine the situation inside the bathroom.
- A simple image of a great situation. The photographer executed this perfectly, resisting the temptation to follow her right to the door and instead, hanging back and taking in the whole scene. Well done!
