11th place in Emotion
The WPJA contest judges presented Anna Poole, 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.

- This would still be a lovely moment of the bride on her wedding day but the child, in the background, wiping away her tears elevates this photo to another plain. I also like how the room decor in front of the curtain seems to mirror rivulets of tears. It’s a beautiful image where the subject becomes the entirety of the image.
