3rd place in Ceremony
The WPJA contest judges presented Edoardo Agresti, 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.
2011 Q4 Contest Judges
Judges
- Often best images are made before or after an event. This is an example of it. As the bride is approaching the church, the photographer works it into the event by looking for an unexpected moment like this, before bride enters the church. The nuns are busy doing their chores as a wedding is about to take place. This is a photograph with layers of information.
- Lovely scene. Well-composed, beautiful sense of place.
