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 people-less setting feels more like a detail but the light is gorgeous and it really conveys the architectural stye of the ceremony.
  • The lighting splinters and spills across this beautiful scene as naturally as the sounds wind makes creaking and sighing lazily through cracks in a weathered barn. The kind of succulence formed by light in this composition creates an ambience that goes beyond mere surface. It's strength is the mood and feel it handily provides.
