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.

  • This is a photo that not everybody would have seen—and/or composed in this manner. It's a moment that seems to be away from any main event. It feels like a classic “man” moment with the drinks while watching sports. The choice to leave out the heads really brings together the main elements, the drinks, the clicker and the TV. The clicker is placed right against the white shirt so it's a clean read and the layering of the hand of the guy in the foreground with the clicker, the drink of the other guy and the TV makes it a really nice composition
