8th place in Reception
The WPJA contest judges presented Andrea Corsi, a Arezzo, 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.

- Yikes! I wasn't sure if I should laugh or cringe. I think I did both at once when I saw this image of a man getting his “glass” of champagne in a rude but fun way. I particularly like the bystander casually holding his smoking cigarette aside as the moment unfolds while the man seated in front of him still holds his knife and fork anticipating the last few glorious bites. But there’s nothing quite like a squirt of the bubbly to celebrate - no matter how it is “served."
