14th place in Ceremony
The WPJA contest judges presented Petros Sordinas, a Greece 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 simplicity of this photograph is what makes it so appealing. Instead of dozens of friends and family members throwing rice as the wedding couple exits the church, we encounter a musician playing a violin and an older woman sitting on a ledge looking up at the happy couple. The bride and groom, their faces illuminated by sunlight, are framed in the flower-draped church doorway. It’s a postcard moment.
