4th place in Kids
The WPJA contest judges presented Derek Pearson, a 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
- This is funny. The frame is really wide, but uses every inch of space to show us the story. Nice seeing. Nice moment. The bride and groom take a backseat the children celebrating. The diagonal composition and the kissing bride and groom make for a telling image.
