1st place in Kids (Being Kids)
The WPJA contest judges presented David Pullum, a Devon, United Kingdom 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.

- I like this photograph more the more I look at it. Fantastic connection between the horse and the girl. Great that the adults are completely oblivious. Perfect placement of elements within the frame.
- Oh how I love this photo. It’s all here in one beautifully delightful package - the impish wave of “hello” to the attentive gaze of a horse wearing blinders to all but small children who want little more than a connection. I love the bowed head of the horse as though saying, “Adeiu” and that beautiful child with flowers in her hair. It’s a package of candied innocence from mane to tail.
