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

  • I’ve never been accomplished at lighting and directing a large group portrait but I’ve seen thousands of photos in the genre and this is one of the best. There is an artful feel created by the lighting and complimented by the subjects, whose body positions exude a trendy hipster style. The background adds to the scene through a laid-back form of opulence. It all works to create a powerful image.
