The World’s Top Pre-Wedding / Engagement Photographers
In the first week of each and every month, the Wedding Photojournalist Association adds another collection of professionally curated pre-wedding engagement pictures to our Diamond Awards member profile galleries.
These award-winning engagement and pre-wedding photographers know exactly what they’re doing when it comes to portraying the true emotion in the couples they photograph. No matter where or when the session takes place, a top engagement photographer from the WPJA knows how to make the most of their surroundings, indoors or outdoors, rain or shine.
These photographers all exhibit their creativity through their original and surprising lighting choices, color schemes, and perspectives. Every composition is a unique, irreplicable work of art, reflecting the uniqueness and individuality of every couple they work with.
Regardless of where or when their sessions are held, each of these gifted artists is devoted to the couples they work with, using their skills, keen eye for detail, and many years of experience in order to document the real and honest connection between two people in love and eagerly anticipating the most important day of their lives.
