Photograph 2199891 was awarded to Wisconsin, United States wedding photographer Ruthie Hauge for being the best in documentary wedding photography.

"Is this groom (or groomsman) seeking relief from the heat with a plunge in a livestock watering tank? More likely, he seeks to quench his thirst with ice cold beverages. Whatever the situation, it makes for a humorous photo...a "refreshing" moment for the rest of us."

The WPJA is pleased to present Wisconsin, United States wedding photographer Ruthie Hauge with an official Master Piece Award as recognition for exceptional wedding photojournalism at The Barn at Harvest Moon Pond WI.
