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.

  • This scene would be “lost” in time and space if not for a photographer discovering the pathos of an elderly gentleman in the latter phase of life, clutching his cane with both hands, surrounded by youth, his face sculpted from the years of old living similar occasions, perhaps even memories of his own journey through marriage. And now, here he sits, filled with knowledge he knows can only be learned by experience as a young woman gently touches his shoulder. Quietly beautiful.
