8th place in Ceremony
The WPJA contest judges presented Daniele Vertelli, 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 Q4 Photography Contest Judges
Judges
- One can almost hear the sound of an organ or, perhaps, orchestra signaling the triumphant entry of the bride to meet her groom, her moment, her day played out before a host of friends and family. The outstretched arm of a bridal attendant leads our eye into the scene and ushers us downward to the waiting assembly. We are part of the moment, at stage center, visually wishing them forward.
