6th place in Parents
The WPJA contest judges presented Rino Cordella, a Lecce, 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 was a great interaction picture between father and daughter. I felt like the photographer did a nice job of establishing the intimacy of the situation.
- This morning I cuddled my seven-year-old daughter, young enough to overflow with visions of princesses and frogs with warts waiting for princely reign. I saw my daughter and I here. We are somewhere within the ages between and betwixt the edges of a photograph, just as we all are - players in fairy tales spun in the thread of golden moments and grand ideals. We are…we are but a gentle touch from that which we most desire.
