1st place in Getting Ready
The WPJA contest judges presented Ronaldo Filho, a Paraíba, Brazil 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.

Judges
- Fun, graphic photo. I like that they look so similar yet are all in their own little (cell phone) worlds.
- This image really stood apart against the rest. Great use of color and moment between the members of the bridal party.
