9th place in Ceremony
The WPJA contest judges presented Edoardo Agresti, a 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.

- The exposure here is either a happy accident or intentionally done in order to achieve an effect. Whichever it is, I like the result. Given the right setup the photographer could have lighted this to get both the people inside the church and the bride and (I presume) her father “properly†exposed. But that would have ruined the effect. I like that the emphasis is on the flower-strewn white carpet and the faint image of a bride-to-be entering the church. The people on the aisles only need to be hinted at and that is what this exposure does. An unusual and lovely image.
