3rd place in Flowers/Decorations
The WPJA contest judges presented Ben Quillinan, a Arizona, 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.

- This is a really unusual way to look at the bouquets. Everything around them is from the same color palette yet rich wtih texture. There is so much to look at yet the frame includes very little. Beautifully framed. Great juxtaposition between gorgeous flowers and the simple brown cardboard they come in. This grouping of bouquets in a plain cardboard box against a blank wall gives a good sense of the story behind the perfectly placed details that guests get to see. It's real, yet pretty.
