13th place in Cake Cutting
The WPJA contest judges presented Nathan Wong, a Bangkok, Thailand 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.

Photographer's Comment
Cake cutting is over in less than a minute. I need to be very quick to get this kind of shot. First I need to get the shot where you can see bride and groom's face and expression while cutting the cake. After that is done, I need to move quickly and discreetly to my pre-determined spot for second shot, this shot.
