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.

Interestingly, that odd painting on the wall at bottom right provides veracity to the scene as opposed to a distraction. It raises our level of interest and tells us more about the hotel where these wedding day balloons drift listlessly in the hallway.
