1st place in Reception Ambiance
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.
2006 Spring Judges
Judges
- The sense of place in this photo is intense. Foreground, background, and the group of people in which each person is both distinct and anonymous, all contribute to making me feel the place. If any one of the elements had been out of place, this photograph would have come crashing down. Nicely handled.
