MEMBER TESTIMONIALS

View all of the Testimonials

Whatever you are doing with the WPJA web site is working great. I always come up very high on search engines. It really helps out. My girlfriend and I were talking the other day and I said I really don't think I would have made it without the WPJA web site. I know I'd be doing weddings a lot more traditional without the WPJA and I'd be a lot less happy. With the WPJA I can shoot weddings and still enjoy the art of photojournalism and actually get paid what a professional should get paid.

BRIDES Magazine / WPJA Wedding Photo Competition

BRIDES MAGAZINE & the Wedding Photojournalist Association proudly present a Wedding Photojournalism Contest.

The WPJA/BRIDES Wedding Photojournalism Contest spotlights the finest images from the best wedding photojournalists on the pages of one of the most world-renowned wedding publications and the web sites of the WPJA and BRIDES.

For most brides and grooms, wedding photojournalism is no longer a trendy alternative to traditional wedding day photo-coverage; rather, it is mainstream wedding photography. The WPJA has been leading the way in promoting and rewarding photographers who excel in capturing the un-styled and un-scripted moments of the wedding day. More and more couples are seeking out the top wedding photojournalists in the world through the WPJA web site.
