7th place in Emotion
The WPJA contest judges presented Adrian Popescu, 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.

- It's hard to resist an old guy crying. He's got a weather beaten face and hands that look like they've seen their share of manual labor. He doesn't seem like the kind of man who lets his emotions out very often. Even though you don't see the bride's face, her dress and veil from behind are very feminine and he's holding her like he doesn't want to let her go. It's very touching.
