12th place in Kids (Being Kids)
The WPJA contest judges presented Abbie Flynn, a 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.

- Kids make lots of funny faces, which is what helps make them the (sometimes) adorable creatures they are. But bad backgrounds can spoil a good expression by directing attention away from the central point of the picture. This photographer’s composition keeps the child in the bottom left of the frame against the plain dark background of the wedding party’s suits and smartly crops the men below the neck to keep their expressions from competing with the little boys expression.
