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.

There's no grand limo here, no horse and carriage, no vintage automobile - it's just a hug goodbye. That's the power of single elements within an image that composition can exploit along with a moment to create a beautifully poignant and storytelling scene.
