13th place in Ceremony
The WPJA contest judges presented Daniel Stark, a Oregon, 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.

- There are wedding kisses and then there are wedding kisses. If points were given for execution, this one would be a perfect 10: the bride’s outstretched arm, her hand on her just married husband’s back as he dips her in an embrace, the minister behind them enjoying the moment, and the member of the wedding party with an “It doesn’t get any better than this” look as he applauds the performance and smiles approvingly at the assembly.
