Q: Can a wedding photojournalist create artistic portraits on my Genoa wedding day?
A: While wedding photojournalists strive to capture candid moments on the wedding day, our photographers also are skilled artists who can compose powerful portraits. If you have a specific vision of what types of images you want from your wedding day, look at the top-ranked Genoa wedding photographers who have earned Artistic Guild awards for portrait and detail images.
Q: How can couples find Genoa photographers for pre-wedding engagement portraits?
A: The WPJA issues Diamond Awards for Genoa wedding photographers to showcase their best engagement photography work. These awards are given to photographers who prove that they have an ability to be creative, artistic, and intuitive while working on-location with couples who are newly engaged.
