1st place in Details
The WPJA contest judges presented Justine Ungaro, a 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.

- Gorgeous light and framing made this a clear winner. Very evocative. The strong light, angle of the bodies and well-placed hand expresses a moment of subtle passion. The cropping to include the man's mouth adds to the intimacy of the moment.
