1st place in Patterns / Shapes
The WPJA contest judges presented Giorgos Galanopoulos, a Greece 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.

- The detail was beautiful. A simple shot of the lights gets energy from the curtain – just a piece of artistic fun.
- Oh my goodness! This image could bedeck the walls of the very space it portrays. It is a rapturous play of pattern and shape - a sliver of time revealing a pastoral, dreamlike gust of wind. It is so sumptuously beautiful that any viewer of this image has been extended an open invitation to spontaneous worship. Take me to this place.
