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.

  • This is a lovely photograph; nicely composed with pretty, soft light. To me it captures a charming moment between a person and her pet. Pets seem to have an uncanny ability to sense when something different or special is going on and this dog is aware that something about her and this day is far from the ordinary.
