3rd place in Humor
The WPJA contest judges presented Neil Cowley, a North Carolina, United States 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.

Judges
- I am not totally sure what is happening in this photograph. It could be that tilt makes it look like the people are reacting to their wedding cake falling over. Or it may be that they are being overly cautious with cutting a piece of the cake. For whatever reason, the faces are hilarious. There is a humorous anxiety going on in this bizarre image.
