7th place in The Cake
The WPJA contest judges presented Ira Lippke, a New York, 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.

- A clever use of shadow makes this an unexpected and appealing cake shot. The cake is the focal point, but the more interesting action is what's going on between the dancing couple to the left. Artsy and cool, not so much about tiny details, but an iconic image/moment.
