Q: How can couples find reviews of Ireland wedding photographers?
A: We call them Client Letters. At the WPJA, we decided more than 20 years ago to avoid incorporating those third-person testimonials and endorsements that are found all too often in advertisements.

Our contests judge photographers based on their creativity, style, composure, and ability to capture the heart of any couple's story on their wedding day.
