Wedding photographer Enzo Masella, was awarded 7th place for photo 1581511 in the Bouquet/Garter (Action) category for the WPJA's 2014 Q4 Photography Contest.

The WPJA contest judges presented Enzo Masella, a 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 is perhaps the most elegant image of a bouquet toss I’ve seen. It unfolds before the eye with a grace not afforded the usual clamor and mishaps often seen. Instead, this bride descends in a graceful arch wrapped in pink as one lone participant waits for the catch as though it was meant for her and her alone.
