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

  • This is a wedding party portrait with attitude. The symmetrical arrangement of the 3 boys in front leads the eye to the bride and groom standing behind them. The pose is casual. All of the males have their hands in their pockets with their coats open. The bride has one hand on her hip. The background is simple and unobtrusive, allowing the viewer to concentrate on the faces. The only individual looking directly into the camera is the groom. The expressions are challenging, almost severe, as if to say, “This better be good.” It is.
