The WPJA contest judges presented Richard Esposito, a 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.

  • This image captures the relationship between the bride and her dad (I am assuming this relationship of course). She is seeking his approval and he is giving it to her. The creative composition and brilliant use of reflection is evident in this case. The exposure could have been deeper, but an excellent image. Very clear and graphic moment of what looks to be a few last words of advice from dad.
