2nd place in Cake Cutting
The WPJA contest judges presented Daria Bishop, a Vermont, 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.

- The simple, unexpected nature of the gesture is what got me. The mildly salacious reaction on the part of the groom and the bride's wonderful reaction bodes well for this couple. This is just a lovely moment, unexpected but the photographer was fast enough to capture it. This ability to move and react fast is the hallmark of a good news photographer.
