8th place in Food & Drinks
The WPJA contest judges presented Kelly Shimoda, a 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.

- Yeah, its just a picture of cake, but what a picture. The table's marred, worn surface offers a great background for the cake. They really match color-wise. And, to top it all off, the feet on the edge of the frame add a little context to the image. Give a sense of place. Nice storytelling.
