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."

Dear Tori, Thank you, thank you, thank you! We love all the photos. You captured so many beautiful moments and it's such a wonderful reminder of a special day. The pictures were just in the style that we wanted; capturing people enjoying all aspects of the day rather than lots of posted shots which show who was at our wedding but not showing the mood or atmosphere of the event. We really love the pictures and look forward to reliving our wedding day many times over in the years to come. Thank you again for such an amazing collection. Love from Gabbi & Karl xxx
