7th place in Cake Cutting
The WPJA contest judges presented Justyna Ortyl, a Podkarpackie, Poland 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.

- What I liked most about this photo, besides the obvious moment, is the balance of artificial and available light. Such things can be as tricky as trying to avoid a face covered in cake. And, unfortunately, I've left an assignment more than once with a feeling of cake on my face. (Sigh.)
