Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How can couples find top-ranked Italian Lakes Region wedding photographers?
A: The WPJA created the original wedding photographer ranking systems. Our innovative system is based on contest winning points, meaning that the Italian Lakes Region photographers you see at the top of your search results page have recently won the most — and the most recent — contest awards. Our contests judge photographers based on their creativity, style, composure, and ability to capture the heart of any couple's story on their wedding day.
Q: How can couples find reviews of Italian Lakes Region 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 Italian Lakes Region wedding photographers for their own wedding.
Q: How can couples find Italian Lakes Region photographers for pre-wedding engagement portraits?
A: The WPJA issues Diamond Awards for Italian Lakes Region 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 Communiqué: Viewpoints
Elopements: Traditional and Modern
The oldsters among the WPJA ranks no doubt remember when 'to elope' meant, in Merriam-Webster’s definition, “to run away secretly with the intention of getting married, usually without parental consent.” Many wedding photographers have gone on the lam with couples who did just that. However, even Merriam-Webster now acknowledges that “elope appears to have become shorthand for ‘ small destination weddings ,’ a ‘ wedding that is not financially insane ,’ or a ‘ wedding that allows us to not invite all the people we would rather not invite .’” Smaller Weddings are...

What is Reportage?
On Instagram and elsewhere, one can see images labeled as #photojournalism or #reportage when they are, in fact, merely photos. I say "merely," even though photography has been my career's great passion. But it's because of that passion and my respect for the work of actual photojournalists that I am particularly bothered to see wedding photographers call their work "reportage." That word properly used actually means something important beyond just a stylistic conceit. By contrast, however, I'm the lead cheerleader for those practitioners of #weddingphotojournalism ...

Caterina, if your photographs can trigger unique emotion with no comment to be said as they are spontaneously purely taken, it is your very presence, the incredible passion you have in your job that make the real difference. A professionist with a big heart that made our day unique and our memories unforgettable. We would pick you a thousand times !

Starting from the assumption that any word has no value until one meets you in person, Caterina, we can say without a doubt that it was the best choice of our wedding to have you with us ! You are professional, sweet and never intrusive... almost invisible on the wedding day, and this is why you manage to capture very true emotions in every photo; you know how to put even the shiest people at ease. This is the reason why everybody falls in love with you and your photos, because your photos are magic and you are truly wonderful ! Thanks Caterina !
