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.

2016 Q4 Photography Competition Judges

Judges

  • I don’t feel the photographer’s presence in this image at all - just the subject’s anticipation. The crisp and rich black & white tones are exquisite.
  • Either these bridesmaids are waiting for their cue, or they are eager to see the scene, or, most likely both. Regardless of the why is the what - a delightful slice from the wedding day.
