1st place in Kids
The WPJA contest judges presented Joanne Dunn, a Salerno, 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.

- I love this picture because it has stripped away almost everything. All that remains is the spirit of kid. Rarely do high-key photos work this well. Wow. Eerie and sweet at the same time.
