Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How can couples find reviews of Coeur d'Alene 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.

A: The WPJA created the original wedding photographer ranking systems. Our innovative system is based on contest winning points, meaning that the Coeur d'Alene photographers you see at the top of your search results page have recently won the most — and the most recent — contest awards. 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.
