6th place in Bride
The WPJA contest judges presented Niamh Baldock, a East Sussex, 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.

Judges
- One of the best bouquet throwing photographs I have ever seen. It shows the scene and the action, but also shows emotion as well. Perfectly executed. At first, the viewer doesn't see what's happening here.Then it becomes clear in this multi-layered image.The outstretched arms above and below are joined by the bouquet. Sweet. Celebratory moment, perfectly composed.
