Q: Can a wedding photojournalist create artistic portraits on my Chapel Hill wedding day?

If you have a specific vision of what types of images you want from your wedding day, look at the top-ranked Chapel Hill wedding photographers who have earned Artistic Guild awards for portrait and detail images.
Q: How can couples find reviews of Chapel Hill 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 Chapel Hill wedding photographers for their own wedding.
Q: How can couples find Chapel Hill photographers for pre-wedding engagement portraits?
A: The WPJA issues Diamond Awards for Chapel Hill wedding photographers to showcase their best engagement photography work. These awards are given to photographers who prove that they have an ability to be creative, artistic, and intuitive while working on-location with couples who are newly engaged.

WPJA contest judges have been recognized by their industry peers, winning top awards as staff picture editors, staff photojournalists, and newsroom mentors while working for these and other leading publications and journalism organizations.
