5th place in Ceremony
The WPJA contest judges presented Kori Hudson, a Arkansas, 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.

- The joy of the bride is so evident in her smile, and her body language lifts the emotional impact of this photograph to the top for me. I love the woman's facial reaction in the center. If there is a weakness it's in the man's reaction at right, but that being said, it's a small weakness that's overridden, in my opinion, by the emotional impact at left. Great work!
