2nd place in Reception
The WPJA contest judges presented Marco Simonelli, 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.
2006 Fall Judges
Judges
- This was just one of those funny moments in life. We know exactly what is going on and being near the wedding cake adds another level of humor to the photo. I do think that the photo would have been even stronger with some cropping on the right hand side.
