Page Updated: January 31st, 2024
Wouldn’t you just love to hire a top creative Hawaii wedding photographer to create artistic portraits on your big day? The Artistic Guild of the Wedding Photojournalist Association is here to help! Wedding photojournalists are, first and foremost, photographers — creative artists, in other words. In the AG contests, WPJA members exhibit their skills at digitally enhanced Hawaii couple portraits.
Four Artistic Guild contests for Hawaii wedding portraits are held annually, entered and judged separately from the regular WPJA competitions of moments. After each creative photo contest, we add another collection of award-winning portraits to our member profile galleries.
Want to have a top Hawaii creative wedding photographer take some unique and artistic portraits? In a portrait (for these purposes), the photographer has staged the couple, the bridal party, or other participants or groups — such as family, friends, or children — on the day of the wedding. One distinguishing feature of portraits is that the subjects are aware of the camera and are maintaining their positions for the sake of the photograph.
Lucy Schultz, an artistic wedding photographer with a penchant for eye-catching imagery and off-camera lighting techniques, excels in capturing the essence of weddings with a touch of artistry that her clients cherish.
Ilana Barav, following in the footsteps of her father and oldest brother who are also photographers, has made a name for herself as a wedding photographer. Over the past six years, Barav has honed her skills in capturing unique and artistic wedding day portraits. Her minimalist approach with clean and simple backgrounds has become a signature style.
Angela Nelson, a Hawaii-based wedding photographer, found her love for photography while teaching in Maui. Her artistic wedding portraits showcase Hawaii's beauty through striking beach scenes and vibrant colors, igniting powerful emotions.
WPJA contest judges have been recognized by their industry peers, winning top awards as staff picture editors, staff photojournalists, and newsroom mentors while working for these and other leading publications and journalism organizations.
