Wedding photographer Carlo Carletti, was awarded 2nd place for photo 52296 in the Weather category for the WPJA's 2006 Summer.

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 Summer Judges

Judges

  • Well thought out and artistic moment. Very nice seeing. The fact that it appears to be the bride and groom walking through the puddle really adds to the image, as well as the elegance of the building reflected. This is almost a gimmick shot, saved by the hands holding up the dress and the deliberate step of the man on the left. With those two elements, which are moments caught by the photographer, it becomes a picture about negotiating a wet day. Nicely done.
