5th place in Food & Drinks
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 photojournalism in every sense. The photographer captured the scene of the meal preparation. I loved the intensity and off beat humor of the ominous moment of the pig to slaughter. The image was shot slightly loose and could use a crop off the top.
