17th place in Ceremony
The WPJA contest judges presented Sean Flanigan, a Washington, 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.

- COMMENTS: The groom just has a great expression and I was enamored with the fist pump! I don't mind him being out of focus, it kind of cements his expression into an abstract form which somehow makes it more memorable. Nice job capturing a well composed moment in what looks like a pretty low light situation.
