Wedding photographer Livio Lacurre, was awarded 2nd place for photo 1376961 in the Cake Cutting category for the WPJA's 2013 Q4 Contest.

The WPJA contest judges presented Livio Lacurre, a Arezzo, Italy 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

  • I had no idea that weddings could be so dangerous. I like how the bride blends in with the cake and almost seems to be coming out of it. I wish the groom was a little more expressive.
  • The champagne went “POP” and everyone flinched. Even the cake looks like it’s teetering on the verge of collapse amidst the ferocious spray belching from a champagne cannon. One can only hope that, moments later, this terrified bride wasn’t forced to walk the plank of “cake on your face” shame. After all, how much trauma can one take? Oh well… at the very least there’s a grand consolation prize - this moment recorded for generations through the quick action (and shutter) of the photographer.
