11th place in Cake Cutting
The WPJA contest judges presented Jules Bianchi, 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.

- This girls face does a lot for this photo. Her reaction is priceless. However, tilting vertical photos should rarely be done, if ever in my book. Tilting here gives us the top part of this frame which adds nothing to the frame and cuts out her veil at the bottom. I feel like the photographer was tilting with the brides movement. If they had kept at an even keel we might have had a greater sense of her movement which could have done great things for the photo.
