3rd place in Getting Ready
The WPJA contest judges presented Jenny Steer, 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.

- There is almost always one or more moments to be found in the context of a brief passage of time. The opening of this door, the opened door and finally the interaction of those within and outside the door are all elements of an “extended moment,” one that spans each in time. But, needless to say, this is an immaculate moment with an entreaty for us to examine it both as it is and through the many doors of our own human experience.
