The leading documentary wedding photographers in the world enter their best photos to the Wedding Photojournalist Association's photography competitions.

Winning these competitions is a true accomplishment for a wedding photographer.

  • A lot of the portraits were gimmicky and tricky, and would not hold up years after the wedding. Here’s a gimmicky portrait that will. It has so many elements to it: Fun, perfect composition, great expressions. It looks like the image you used to see when you went to the barber shop and saw yourself reflected a million times in the mirrors to either side of you. Cool photo.
