Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How can couples find reviews of Cornwall 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. Instead, we elevated our listings with the use of Client Letters, which represent the actual words and feelings of the clients who booked those Cornwall wedding photographers for their own wedding.
Q: Who are the best Cornwall wedding photographers for small elopements?
A: The WPJA is proud to have some of the top Cornwall 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.
Q: How can couples find Cornwall photographers for pre-wedding engagement portraits?
A: The WPJA issues Diamond Awards for Cornwall 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.

What is Reportage?
On Instagram and elsewhere, one can see images labeled as #photojournalism or #reportage when they are, in fact, merely photos.
