Q: How can couples find Rhode Island photographers for pre-wedding engagement portraits?
A: The WPJA issues Diamond Awards for Rhode Island 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.
Q: Can a wedding photojournalist create artistic portraits on my Rhode Island wedding day?

If you have a specific vision of what types of images you want from your wedding day, look at the top-ranked Rhode Island wedding photographers who have earned Artistic Guild awards for portrait and detail images.
Q: How can couples find reviews of Rhode Island 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.
