CATEGORIES - Q2 '08 WPJA CONTEST



01. Getting Ready
“Getting Ready” entries spontaneously capture the prepping, grooming, arranging, outfitting, and nail-biting before the ceremony.

02. Ceremony
“Ceremony” shots catch guests and participants throughout pre-ceremony, vow-exchange, and receiving line activity.

03. Reception
“Reception” photographs document festivities from the cocktail hour through the last dance and departure.

04. Kids (Being Kids)
“Kids” entries capture babies, children, and youth doing what they do best!

05. Details (Found)
“Details (Found)” encompasses tighter shots of the day's small slices AS THEY WERE FOUND.
NOTE: This category is NOT for set-up detail shots. It's important that images submitted in this category don't contain content controlled by the photographer.

06. Emotion
“Emotion” entries unobtrusively freeze intriguing expressions ranging from joy to tears.

07. Humor
“Humor” photographs document the lighter side of the wedding day.

08. Great Natural Light
“Great Natural Light” entries capture moments brilliantly lit under natural and ambient lighting conditions. NOTE: This category is not for images created with the help of any flash or strobe.

09. Creative Portrait
“Creative Portraits” employ a fresh and artistic approach to portraiture in capturing the bride, groom, bridal party, family, friends, children and/or any other posed wedding party member. Candid moments are not eligible for this category.
NOTE: Though this category may resemble traditional portraiture for some, the key here is to be creative with your subjects.

10. Weather
For the “Weather” category, entries include the effects that the weather had on the wedding day (hot, cold, rain, wind, etc.)
