1st place in Creative Portraits
The WPJA contest judges presented Hun Kim, a Washington, 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.

- I love the formality of this portrait; it reminds me of a European court painting. I like the way the people are placed and I really like the muted colors of the background paintings that add color to the photograph but don't distract from the portrait.
