Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How can couples find reviews of Texas - Southern wedding photographers?
A: We call them Client Letters. At the WPJA, we decided more than 20 years ago to avoid incorporating those third-person testimonials and endorsements that are found all too often in advertisements.

Q: How can couples find Texas - Southern photographers for pre-wedding engagement portraits?
A: The WPJA issues Diamond Awards for Texas - Southern wedding photographers to showcase their best engagement photography work. These awards are given to photographers who prove that they have an ability to be creative, artistic, and intuitive while working on-location with couples who are newly engaged.
