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).

  • This picture stuck with me over the days that I looked at all of these pictures. It looks like a painting. The light, the color palette and the decisive moment all come together.
