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.

  • This one is a great story teller with the two girls at different places in their lives connecting and sharing a common goal. What a nice moment with a great use of a long lense. This would not have worked with a wide angle lens since the background would likely get cluttered. I do wonder about getting a bit closer to lose the mirror in the lower left and the hot spot in the upper right.
