Barletta-Andria-Trani wedding photography by Alessandro Riccio, of Apulia, Italy

I was born in 1974, living in Barletta - Apulia, my interest in photography started as I got my first camera at the age of 10 and then I found out many authors like Bob Capa, Robert Frank and Salgado who really helped me to form my world view. So I love telling stories through my viewfinder, capturing emotions and people in their scenario. I have taken thousands of pictures and a few hundred weddings during my life and each time my curiosity is never over. [Barletta-Andria-Trani Wedding Photographer]

Photographing Fleeting Wedding Details
With the snap of a shutter, a camera lens captures a single moment in time; one that can never occur again in the exact same way. At any given wedding, there are an infinite number of these moments that pass us by. Some hold in place longer than others; some come and go in the blink of an eye. It is through such fleeting details that some wedding photojournalists earn their keep. With a professional eye honed through years of visual training and practice, they constantly scan the wedding scene...Read more

Keeping Your Hand in News Photojournalism - For Wedding Photographers
Many WPJA members can trace their roots to the news profession in some way, having shot everything from small-town stories to significant historical events that have led to Pulitzer Prizes. Likewise, many have felt the adrenaline rush that news photojournalists get from bagging the winning touchdown catch, documenting heart-wrenching tragedies and being on the front lines of history. There’s also the gratification of getting published with a byline in a major publication, and the mass-...Read more

3 Ways to Deal with Church Photography Restrictions at a Wedding
You can argue that of all the photos on your wedding day, the ones taken during the ceremony are the most meaningful—that’s why you’re there, right? It’s ironic, then, that wedding photojournalists regularly have the most trouble shooting their best work in the churches where these very ceremonies take place. Often times, significant moments unfold in front of camera lenses that are too far away, positioned at awkward angles, and photographers are forced to operate under...Read more

Photographing Intimate Moments with Parents at the Wedding
In the 1950 classic film Father of the Bride , George, played by Spenser Tracy, watches his daughter Annie, played by Elizabeth Taylor, take her wedding vows and says to himself, “I realized at that moment that I was never going to come home again and see Annie at the top of the stairs. Never going to see her again at our breakfast table in her nightgown and socks...Annie was all grown up and leaving us, and something inside began to hurt.” The scene may be fiction, but the emotion behind it is...Read more

4 Reasons to Take the Wedding Photographer for a Car or Limo Ride
While you may have picked out a beautiful, rustic church, a serene outdoor setting, and a posh reception hall as ideal backdrops to your wedding photographs, the shots don't stop there. Remember: The wedding photojournalist's mission is to document the entire day. And one of the often overlooked, and maybe under-appreciated settings for photos during your wedding day occurs while the bride, groom and other members of the wedding party are in a car, limo, party bus or other forms of...Read more

Keeping Kids Happy at the Wedding
A wedding is a special event for all involved, and children are no exception. With little boys suiting up in tuxedos and young girls stepping into gowns layered in satin and lace, it’s a milestone for your smallest guests as well. It’s that rare occasion when they receive a glimpse into the adult world in all its ceremonial splendor. But in the thick of wedding planning, many brides and grooms often forget the little ones. Well, you need not be one of the forgetful. With a bit of...Read more

What is Reportage?
On Instagram and elsewhere, one can see images labeled as #photojournalism or #reportage when they are, in fact, merely photos. I say "merely," even though photography has been my career's great passion. But it's because of that passion and my respect for the work of actual photojournalists that I am particularly bothered to see wedding photographers call their work "reportage." That word properly used actually means something important beyond just a stylistic conceit. By contrast, however, I'm the lead cheerleader for those practitioners of #weddingphotojournalism . It's among the most moving, evocative, and beautiful work done by professional photographers and — with that important qualifier, "wedding" — it is a strong statement about the creative approach and technical ethic of photographers of the Wedding Photojournalist Association...

Unbiased Contest Judging - Fairness is our Top Priority
The social sharing of today makes it easier than ever for photographers to identify the work of others. It's only human that a judge could feel the pull to reward their friends or push back a foe. That type of influence has always been eliminated from our photo contests. We feel photography judges should not have to struggle with such issues as they are making their decisions. Since our beginning in 2002, WPJA members have not judged our contests. Integrity has always been of utmost importance for our contests, and of our organization as a whole. And of course, we would never want members judging contests in which they are also entering their own images during the same year. This would make it incredibly tempting to make selections that would increase the likelihood of their own POY title success. Neutral and Unbiased judges We are proud... Read more
The Precepts and Practices of WPJA Competition
In our business, such moments often get referred to, naturally enough, as "moments" (in contrast to camera-aware "portraits" or still-life "details" shots). Starting in 2018, only such "moments" images were deemed eligible for entry in WPJA contests, with the goal of more clearly promoting the photojournalistic ethos in wedding photography through thousands of the best examples each year. "I work from awkwardness. By that I mean I don't like to arrange things. If I stand in front of something, instead of arranging it, I arrange myself." — Diane Arbus Of course, nearly all wedding photojournalists will also be taking portraits and details shots for their clients. Recognizing this, WPJA members can also compete in the association's less rigorous contests for engagement portraits and for artistic expression. But as the photojournalist... Read more
