12th place in Getting Ready
The WPJA contest judges presented Tyler Vance, a Louisiana, 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.

Judges
- I like how the picture takes you from the left lower corner to the right with the bride getting buttoned to her kissing the ring bearer. Nice moment.
- Many elements work together to make this photo a great one: the expression of the child, the kiss, the hands, the lines, the light, the elegance and grace.
