4th place in Silhouettes and Shadows
The WPJA contest judges presented Marco Ficili, 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.

- Although this would have worked better as a vertical, it still is well done and gives a good overview of the church as well as good placement of the bride and her father (assumed). A beautiful setting and nice moment with the bride silhouetted in the door. This image would have faired better with slightly more rim light exposure to help carry and define the gathering.
