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.

Judges

  • I love the nervous expression that has been captured here but what I find most interesting is the guests in the background who don’t seem to notice the tension at all. This photographer made a very intimate moment and captured it well with the shallow depth of field.
  • This is an awesome image of anticipation. Who can’t relate to this picture, the crowd waiting, the groom alone in his thoughts, pondering what is about to change. Beautiful image that perfectly captures a moment of solitary contemplation.
