7th place in Reception
The WPJA contest judges presented Beatrice Moricci, 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
- This image has terrific eye appeal that begins with an interesting twist on the traditional toss of the bridal bouquet. This is a perfect example of a goal I’ve had for many years when shooting stand-alone newspaper features; to seek the “unusual of the usual.” As professionals we are paid for more than our camera knowledge. People mostly choose us for our vision, to find the uncommon in the midst of the common.
