10th place in Cake Cutting
The WPJA contest judges presented Adam Welch, a Colorado, 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 is a little hard to read, but it rises to it's position because of it's subtlety. I love her expression and him pointing the finger. It's a nice image that rings strong in the docmentary category, and it reveals a lot about the situation. The body language is key to this image and helps it override the fact that it's not a easy read. Great work.
