Page Updated: January 28th, 2025
Wouldn’t you just love to hire a top creative West Midlands 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 West Midlands couple portraits.
Four Artistic Guild contests for West Midlands 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 West Midlands 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.
With 25 years in documentary photography, Emil Boczek, based in the UK, excels in capturing artistic wedding portraits. His offbeat approach results in unique, creative images that tell compelling stories. Emil’s skillful close-ups of hands and feet highlight his distinct style and storytelling ability.
