3rd place in Bride
The WPJA contest judges presented Kieran Doherty, a London, 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.

- Layering and reflection in the glass make this picture interesting—you can see the rich details in the environment around the bride. Beautifully-composed photograph with a great moment - very intimate and great use of layers (foreground girl, reflection, bride, and relatives in the background). Great photograph. A little difficult to read at first, but I really appreciated all the detail in the reflection. Deftly-handled by the photographer.
