The leading documentary wedding photographers in the world enter their best photos to the Wedding Photojournalist Association's photography competitions. They want their wedding reportage photographs to be evaluated and selected by some of the most notable and respected working picture editors and photojournalists in the news industry (these are not wedding photographers or other WPJA members judging their work). Winning these competitions is a true accomplishment for a wedding photographer.

2006 Summer Judges

Judges

  • A quiet picture that relies on careful framing to add layers to the still contentment on the bride's face. The photographer built the picture around the bride; the girls in the foreground, the men in the background, even the bubbles in the air, all revolve around the bride. Just enough of the rock-solid church. This is a MADE picture as opposed to a taken picture. The photographer saw a stage and waited for all the players upon it to be in just right place to build a photo that created emotion, rather than just record it. Nicely done.
