The WPJA contest judges presented Mark Kegans, a Minnesota, 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.

- Great behind the scenes shot in a poolroom smoking cigars. The composition and color of the red wall and green pool table add layers to this photograph and help guide us to the subject whose smoke you can see. There are lots of great elements in this photo such as the symmetry of the lamps in the photograph and the detail of the glass on the edge of the table
