1st Place: Joe Brier from Virginia, United StatesJudges Comments
Excellent angle. Stood out among the rest of the entries. High vantage point made for a common scene but seen from a different perspective.
The high angle adds a nice dimension to an already fine moment.

Very impressive firework display caught and beautifully composed with the cake.
How’d they get those explosives inside the cake? Nice shot!

I liked the angle, but I REALLY liked the light. The bride had a lovely expression – all the elements you need for a solid cake-cutting image. The bride can frame this image and it tells the whole story.

I love good behind the scenes images, and this was a really nice one, I love the body language of the waiters and the great use of light.

Simplicity at its best. Photographer allowed scene to unfold before them beautifully.

I loved the idea of this picture! The lighting and color palate is fantastic and great use of slow shutter to create a mood. It would have been higher in the edit if the photographer straightened the horizon.

This image was a nice thought by the photographer; it implies cake without the cake and will add nice visual variety of the event for the couple.
