12th place in Parents
The WPJA contest judges presented Erin Chrisman, a South Carolina, 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 understand. At least I think so. After all, I’ve only been in this father’s place once, and God willing, once more, many years from now. But such is the power of an image to transport any soul to the presence of a prescient moment as this - to experience that which we employ as our own and all that we might possess one day. Damn. I love photography.
