Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How can couples find reviews of Canada wedding photographers?
A: We call them Client Letters. At the WPJA, we decided more than 20 years ago to avoid incorporating those third-person testimonials and endorsements that are found all too often in advertisements. Instead, we elevated our listings with the use of Client Letters, which represent the actual words and feelings of the clients who booked those Canada wedding photographers for their own wedding.
Q: How can couples find top-ranked Canada wedding photographers?
A: The WPJA created the original wedding photographer ranking systems. Our innovative system is based on contest winning points, meaning that the Canada photographers you see at the top of your search results page have recently won the most — and the most recent — contest awards. Our contests judge photographers based on their creativity, style, composure, and ability to capture the heart of any couple's story on their wedding day.
Q: Who are the best Canada wedding photographers for small elopements?
A: The WPJA is proud to have some of the top Canada documentary wedding photographers for elopements. Our members are able to submit WedElope Stories that take you step-by-step, via a 9 image picture story, through the unique and moving elopements that take place around the world.

It was a real pleasure to have you Loïc for the photos of our wedding this April. A very pleasant first contact by email, an impeccable organization that allowed the day to go smoothly! A real professionalism throughout our exchanges. you were attentive to all our requests and you made a lot of effort to adapt to our French/English guests, which was appreciated by all. The photos trace the day and the emotions to perfection. If you are looking for a photographer who works with respect and delicacy while offering photos full of feelings, I can only recommend Loïc. Thanks again.

Rick you are unbelievably great. Your images are stunning, and you caught them all without interrupting the wedding at all. All of our images are beautifully composed. These are all artbook shots, without a hint of cheese anywhere! I have many loves about the entire experience with you. Here are but a few: I love how you are a true photojournalist, not interrupting anything, ever! Many photogs claim to be photojournalists but then make you re-do the ring exchange after the ceremony. Our shots are all true and very special moments captured as they actually happened. And I love how flexible you are in working out options for us that we could afford. Thank you for that! And finally, I love the fact that you love shooting. You stayed through the whole party and dare I say looked like you were having fun. Please let me know if you need a reference as I would highly recommend you to anyone.
