3rd place in Ceremony
The WPJA contest judges presented Franco Milani, 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.
2012 Q2 Contest Judges
Judges
- I love the feeling of being part of the wedding party and almost being in the middle of this conversation. The expression of the bride and especially the groom really make this work well. Having said that, watch the corners. The upper right corner and the top 10% of the entire top and left sides could be cropped out, improving the photo and maybe giving you more space to keep in more of the kid in the lower right corner.
