In the AG contests, WPJA members exhibit their skills at digitally enhanced Denver couple portraits.
Four Artistic Guild contests for Denver wedding portraits are held annually, entered and judged separately from the regular WPJA competitions of moments. After each creative photo contest, we add another collection of award-winning portraits to our member profile galleries.
