The WPJA contest judges presented Andrea Trimarchi, 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.

  • This image has a number of compositional elements including good leading lines and a sense of chaotic symmetry...primarily the mirror, door, and framed picture. Of course there’s no denying the power of the moment as mom cleans his cheek with tissue. Let me guess... she’s wiping away lipstick from her kiss. It’s a quiet moment, a decisive moment, a tender “farewell,” for now at least. Meanwhile dad, at far left, urges his son to the ceremony. Soon he will receive another kiss from his bride. I suspect that lipstick will remain as is.
