15th place in The Cake
The WPJA contest judges presented Kim Long, a Ohio, 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 entire image speaks a message of grace and respect. She gently wipes her mouth as he kisses her cheek. Even the cake stands with a subdued grace mirroring the shape of the attendees at far right. It's as though the scene itself "sounds like" the soft click of the shutter. I really like this photo because it reveals something more about the couple without agenda.
