8th place in Ceremony
The WPJA contest judges presented Tony Shao, a China 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 photo is a bit subtle at first because you focus on the couple, but when you really study the edges of the frame, it is a strong “sign of the times” photo. The phones truly create a set of leading lines right to the center of the frame. It is good seeing by the photographer.
