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.

2014 Q3 Photography Contest Judges

Judges

  • Sometimes simple and straightforward is the best way to tell the story, and it did in this case. Straight to the woman catching the bouquet, and then you get to explore the rest of the image and focus on the other faces in the shot. Very nice.
  • Good angle on a classic image. The expression really pulled the image together. Well done.
  • Ahhh... so here it is... the near perfect bouquet toss image. One could not have staged it more perfectly than the photographer who had the wherewithal to choose the right position and moment to record this lovely scene of a classic tradition.
