Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How can couples find reviews of Karnataka wedding photographers?
A: We call them Client Letters. At the WPJA, we decided more than 20 years ago to avoid incorporating those third-person testimonials and endorsements that are found all too often in advertisements.

Q: Can a wedding photojournalist create artistic portraits on my Karnataka 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 Karnataka wedding photographers who have earned Artistic Guild awards for portrait and detail images.
Q: Who are the best Karnataka wedding photographers for small elopements?
A: The WPJA is proud to have some of the top Karnataka documentary wedding photographers for elopements. Our members are able to submit WedElope Stories that take you step-by-step, via a 9 image picture story, through the unique and moving elopements that take place around the world.
