WPJA MEMBER BENEFITS
The Wedding Photojournalist Association offers far-reaching
benefits for its members. Based on the countless 'Testimonials

that the greatest benefit of belonging in the WPJA is the ability
to book (through the WPJA) numerous weddings with their most
preferred
types of clients. Due to all the positive publicity the organization
is receiving and due to its notoriety, reputation for high standards,
and respect within the wedding industry, the WPJA attracts prospective
couples who appreciate, value, and seek the best in wedding
photojournalism.
Thus, photographers that belong to the WPJA are able to pursue
their passion in documentary wedding photography, develop their
talent and creativity, while operating in ideal settings.
In joining, a member gains the strength of increased traffic flow to his/her web site, and professional
award-recognition through members-only contests. The WPJA also

BENEFITS OF WPJA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITIONS
Several times out of the year, WPJA members have a tremendous opportunity to further demonstrate creative and technical excellence. The venue: WPJA Wedding
Photography Contests. Through WPJA contests, members receive yet one more tool by which to draw the attention of their prospective customer audience.
WPJA contests also create opportunities for great rewards in the form of awards, trophies, titles, and professional recognition within the Wedding
Photojournalism industry. Perhaps one of our most coveted awards is the large 'Traveling Trophy', reserved for the
Photographer of the Year (POY). The trophy features
the permanently engraved name of the annual recipient on the base. POYs have the distinct privilege of keeping/displaying this prestigious trophy for one
year.
The following contest-benefits apply as well:
- Potential image placement with photo credit integrated into WPJA site design.
- The potential for increased interest in member's work.
- Higher ranking on WPJA regional search results listing pages.
Obviously all of the above mentioned benefits translate into higher earning potential for the photographer.

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.
