1st place in Getting Ready
The WPJA contest judges presented Giuseppe Giorgetti, a Milano, 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.

Judges
- Such a striking angle. It's great to see photographers explore new angles, and this time it was with great success.
- Quirky and odd angle makes it a fun photo to look at.
- What a pain to put on some delicate heels when you're draped in lace and curls. The ornate chair in the background and the carpet all add to the scene, shot from floor-level, the perfect angle and composition to capture the moment.
