1st place in Parents
The WPJA contest judges presented Matt Kim, 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.

Judges
- Love the reaction of these parents as they celebrate their child’s wedding. The flash panned effect works well to bring energy to the photograph.
- This dad makes me think of what my husband will be like at our daughter's wedding, so I'm biased, but i think that's what you want: for your viewers to relate to your images.
