9th 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.
2015 Q3 Photography Contest Judges
Judges
- Just a great scene and strong moment – this felt like a scene from an opera. The photographer picked the right composition – stepping back and allowing them to be small in the picture – made for great impact in color and in light.
- This photo is almost too perfect. The moment itself is undeniably on target as Champagne flies upward against the bride’s recoil, beneath a chandelier that seemingly drips from the ceiling. The light, color, setting and composition bring it all together for the viewer’s pleasure.
