5th place in Cake Cutting
The WPJA contest judges presented Anne Simone, a Georgia, 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.

- This image was surprising. At first glance the young woman eating the cake icing could be overlooked. After taking a closer look the humor becomes very apparent. Great moment! However the image could have been better exposed without many of the highlight detail lost.
