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.

But more so is the depth of field that allows this scene to explode across the viewer’s spectrum of experience - another way of describing how important the skill behind an image is to the moment itself.
