The WPJA contest judges presented Chiara Ridolfi, a Roma, 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.

- Sometimes the best photographs are not literal. We don’t have to know the entire story. This image encourages the viewer to use their imagination. And that’s a good thing.
- Though itʼs not a close-up shot, this is a smart look at details. The careful, gentle hand in a subtle moment, the wisp of lace, light against dark, as it flows gracefully through a beautiful door.
