Page Updated: February 11th, 2023
Wouldn’t you just love to hire a top creative Las Vegas wedding photographer to create artistic portraits on your big day? The Artistic Guild of the Wedding Photojournalist Association is here to help! Wedding photojournalists are, first and foremost, photographers — creative artists, in other words. In the AG contests, WPJA members exhibit their skills at digitally enhanced Las Vegas couple portraits.
Four Artistic Guild contests for Las Vegas wedding portraits are held annually, entered and judged separately from the regular WPJA competitions of moments. After each creative photo contest, we add another collection of award-winning portraits to our member profile galleries.
Want to have a top Las Vegas creative wedding photographer take some unique and artistic portraits? In a portrait (for these purposes), the photographer has staged the couple, the bridal party, or other participants or groups — such as family, friends, or children — on the day of the wedding. One distinguishing feature of portraits is that the subjects are aware of the camera and are maintaining their positions for the sake of the photograph.
Darren Hendry, an unconventional and alternative wedding photographer, showcases his unique storytelling abilities through natural, emotive, and honest portraits. Drawing inspiration from his background in architecture, he captures stunning wedding stories with a bold, colorful, and striking vision. His use of contrast, silhouettes, and expert play with light creates visually balanced and graphically impactful images.

He has gained recognition as one of the top wedding photojournalists globally and is highly regarded in Michigan.

WPJA contest judges have been recognized by their industry peers, winning top awards as staff picture editors, staff photojournalists, and newsroom mentors while working for these and other leading publications and journalism organizations.
