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.

  • I love looking at photos. I am pleased at an astonishing array of styles but I must confess that I truly enjoy a simple moment photographed in a way that allows a moment to speak with little nudging via style or gimmick. As such, this image feels like (because only time can create one) a classic. Honestly, I would be able to identify this image at first sight as a marriage scene, a "first dance." That's how well a moment can tell a story without any "props." It's such a lovely image that could, hopefully, warm any heart as much as my own.
