The WPJA contest judges presented Andrea Mascitti, a Ascoli Piceno, 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.

- What’s not to love about this beautiful image of a lost balloon, perhaps seeking solace in a prayer beneath the cross? More likely, it sought the sky but first a stop at the church. Sounds a little bit like the wedding day doesn’t it? Nonetheless, I’m not sure I would have seen this tiny detail. I’m glad this photographer did.
