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 was the photographer's strong vision. Loved the focus on the rain and the silhouetted face falling out of focus. This image has a real artistic quality. Nicely done.
  • Beautiful photograph. Very well done detail. The light and dark tones balance perfectly.
  • I couldn’t rest the deviousness of this detail. This photo continued to rise through the ranks until taking it’s winning throne. But isn’t it amazing that the entire image rests upon the glisten of a singular trail of rain on the man’s jacket? It all comes down to that one glistening highlight to make the image what it is.
