4th place in Getting Ready
The WPJA contest judges presented Carlo Carletti, a Siena, 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
- A change in format doesn't necessarily help make better pictures, but if the photograph works then it works and I liked this photograph for a variety of reasons. The light is wonderful on her scarf, the repeating smiles on the faces of the women in the background and the general feel of the photograph. The thing I wish I could've seen a bit more of was the women's faces in the foreground. I just felt that it was so close to completely blowing the other pics away, but the fact that the expressions were a bit hard to read. I loved the feel of the picture and I also liked the composition and the risk of using a different format.
