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

  • Lots of symbolism with the little girl looking out to the horizon. Most little girls dream of their wedding day. The little girl's dress is the 'perfect' little girl dress with the polka dots and pink bow and the wedding dress is equally 'perfect'. Watch your blacks. They look weak to me. Any image you submit to a contest should also be 'perfect' technically. Well done though. Nice image.
