The WPJA contest judges presented David Pullum, a Devon, United Kingdom 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.

Judges

  • Stood out, without a doubt. Peak moment, great reaction by photographer. This image could have placed in the humor category as well.
  • The framing on this is perfect, that moment of the cake cutting. I wonder what made the cake fall, is she really going to catch it? What makes the picture even better is the groom seems completely unaware of what is happening right in front of him. Nice job of paying attention and great reaction.
  • In many relationships it’s the woman who concentrates on the details of making things run smoothly while the man is easily distracted. When, exactly, the groom is going to realize that the wedding cake next to him is toppling over is a large part of this photograph’s appeal. Fortunately for him, however, his wife seems to have the situation well in hand. Funny.
