6th place in Ceremony
The WPJA contest judges presented Kym Skiles, a 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.

- What a wonderful moment between the bride and groom. While everyone else is praying, they're stealing a moment for themselves. The bride is looking so devilish considering the situation. The photographer did a nice job of including just enough of the supporting cast without having them detract from the subjects. This is another one of those pictures that just kept moving up in the standings until it couldn't move up anymore
