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 looks like a fashion shoot, but I like it. Interesting concept and well executed. The bride looks perfectly unruffled and the pool she is floating in creates a beautiful background. Well composed. Good light. It's all working for the photographer here.
