4th place in Ceremony
The WPJA contest judges presented George Weir, a Pennsylvania, 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.

Judges
- Good use of panning to isolate the ring bearer - great way to deal with low available light. Photographer caught him eyeing up and concentrating on his weighty responsibility for his moment in the limelight. Image has a nice feel as even with the blur of the pan the viewer can see that the attendees are watching him. Nothing to criticize about this winner.
