17th place in Details
The WPJA contest judges presented Chad Fuller, a 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 really appreciated what the photographer was trying to do - put the detail in the context of the western location and the character of the people in the wedding - the hats and sitting on the tailgate of the truck. But perhaps it tries to do too much - the distortion on the leg is a bit troubling as is the crop on the shoe. But...at least it is different, not cliché and says something about the individuality of this wedding.
