Wedding photographer Emanuele Vignaroli, was awarded 1st place for photo 1139756 in the Mobile Devices category for the WPJA's 2013 Q1 Contest.

The WPJA contest judges presented Emanuele Vignaroli, a Perugia, 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.

2013 Q1 Contest Judges

Judges

  • Great photo of a young boy lost in cyber world while the ceremony commences. Those high top sneakers he has on doesn't hurt the photo either.
  • The formal setting of the wedding contrasted with the boy on his phone with sneakers is timeless in many ways. Before cell phones the boy would be playing with a gameboy or a toy car or before that perhaps jacks and marbles. The image is more about being a child than marriage but that is what I like about it. Very nice moment. Well done.
  • Games keep kids preoccupied. Fun photo of one not at all interested in a wedding. Not dressed for one either.
