14th place in Ceremony
The WPJA contest judges presented Minnow Park, a New York, 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.

Photographer's Comment
When a boat is on waters as choppy as the east river, it's pretty difficult to take a steady shot let alone perform a ceremony. This wedding was so unique and so intimate and even though the boat was so unsteady, I was able to frame the couple, their grandfather the officiant, and the freedom towers.
Wedding photographer Minnow Park, was awarded 14th place for photo 1564621 in the Ceremony category for the WPJA's 2014 Q4 Photography Contest.
