13th place in Ceremony
The WPJA contest judges presented Felicia Perry, a 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.

Photographer's Comment
I was crouched down in the aisle shooting the B&G and looked over my shoulder and saw all of these poor girls sobbing next me; it was just so sweet and comical and wonderful.
Judges
- A nice job of seeing and timing to capture the variety of expressions, ranging from a strong cry to the demure patting away of tears (and then there's the one bridesmaid who seems a bit less emotional).,
