2nd place in Cake Cutting
The WPJA contest judges presented Marco Miglianti, a Grosseto, 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.
2009 Q2 Judges
Judges
- This has fraternity written all over it. I almost feel for the photographer who had to shoot this wedding, but that being said, it's a nice, peak, moment and one that is VERY surprising. I haven't seen someone's face shoved in the cake like that. While I find that childish, it's very humorous.
- The photographer was definitely in the right place for this photo. Timing is everything sometimes and this photograph is a great example of that!
- This is just a darn funny picture depicting boys being boys. A second sooner or a second later and the photographer would not have had the image, but this one is perfect.
