3rd place in Action
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.

- Just a nice moment on the dance floor! I liked her body language and great expression. Just a nice slice-of-life image. I usually zip right past pictures that utilize on-camera strobe, but the moment is just too perfect on this image. The hair sweeping and the hands clasped and linked. Eyes closed with a joyous smile. I mean, what's not to like?
