2nd place in Emotion
The WPJA contest judges presented CK Hwang, a 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.

- A clean and crisp documentary image of son and father that will resonate with all for many years to come. It is a picture that speaks about culture and tradition. You can only imagine what they are talking about, and yet you know the son will always remember what was said when he looks back at this picture. Excellent! Unusual and poignant.
