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 image too has a wonderful feel but could have been better with stronger composition.  The photographer needed to get a wider view.  The foreground needs more attention, but the ceiling has important information that helps the picture as well so the only solution is to get wider and if possible a little--a foot or two lower and to the right. There are some distracting element that might have been deemphasized if there had been more space.  Tough getting a large crowd all looking the same way.   The depth of field, focus, and sharpness are all good.
