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.

2007 Q4 Judges

Judges

  • Nice quiet moment of a child in the arms of one of the guests. I like the composition of the champagne glass and the child's expression. Quiet. Nice. Simple elegance. Glad the photographer resisted the temptation to go tighter. Negative space emphasizes the emotion. The feeling and the light to convey the feeling makes this photograph a winner. The cropping (in the camera or in the print), isolates the important information to be set forward in this image.
