5th place in Getting Ready
The WPJA contest judges presented Mauro Pozzer, a Vicenza, 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 was a surprise, and I kept coming back to it. The graphic nature of the photograph created a strong sense of sensuality and intimacy. Loved the placement of the shoes in the image and the curve of her body. This image is all about details and it reveals a lot about the coming day. It was an innovative way of capturing the moment.
- This is a nicely composed detail shot of the bride getting ready. It has a great mood and sense of anticipation.
