Wedding photographer Massimiliano Magliacca, was awarded 2nd place for photo 1733876 in the Other Vendors category for the WPJA's 2015 Q4 Photography Contest.

The WPJA contest judges presented Massimiliano Magliacca, a Roma, 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.

2015 Q4 Photography Contest Judges

Judges

  • Tragic moment. Great reaction.
  • A short trip to the reception hall became even shorter thanks to a bad trip. It’s bad enough that they dropped the cake but somehow worse for it to land on a gutter grate. The action, the decisive moment, is served nicely by the quick action of the photographer but my favorite slice of this visual dessert are the witnesses watching this moment spill before their eyes, the shutter recording this comedic drama even before bystanders can understand what has happened.
