3rd place in Groom Getting Ready
The WPJA contest judges presented Vincenzo Massaro, a Taranto, 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.
2013 Q3 Contest Judges
Judges
- A great expression at an anxious time. Looks like the photographer was not interfering and letting things happen.
- I love the groom's expression! That is pretty classic, how he is looking at his watch, possibly waiting on his bride. It captures the anticipation and the nerves felt before the ceremony.
