5th place in Bouquet/Garter (Action)
The WPJA contest judges presented Cristiano Ostinelli, a Italy 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
- These ladies jump for the bouquet with the sincerity of an NBA squad with one (second from left) performing an excellent block. Besides the obvious action, the photographer has captured a poetic arch of bodies and arms where all eyes lead to the bouquet so near to their hands. The lighting is just right and the composition, superb.
