1st place in Departure
The WPJA contest judges presented Mario Travaini, a Copenhagen, Denmark 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 two little girls in dresses almost the same color as the grass is a really nice accent. They aid the composition. Great job.
- Who wouldn't want an image like this in their wedding album? It's a simple classic moment that speaks to the passage of time itself. For most of us, our wedding day turns back the clock and we become as joyous as two children chasing a horse and carriage. There's not much to say about an image that causes us to reflect.
