Wouldn’t you just love to hire a top creative Charlottesville 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 Charlottesville couple portraits.
Four Artistic Guild contests for Charlottesville 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 Charlottesville 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.
Brittany Diliberto, an East Coast USA-based photographer, specializes in unique and inspiring wedding couple portraits. With a background in professional lighting design, Brittany expertly uses off-camera lighting to create striking and bold images.
