The Wedding Photojournalist Association was created for photographers like me who shoot weddings the way a photojournalist would shoot for a magazine story.

I’m always honored when one of the photos I have taken at a wedding is chosen for an award.

Here are three award-winners from the latest round of WPJA contest.

This is a photo of the bride’s Mom laughing at a comment made by the bride during the getting ready portion of the day.

Getting ready photos are often some of the best photos taken on a wedding day.

This photos taken at the same wedding at Rhodes Hall shows Mom, the bride, and aunt helping the daughter of the bride get into her bridesmaid’s dress. A friend looks on from the background.

The final winner for this quarter is from a wedding that was postponed twice, once due to Covid and the second time due to a tornado. Here the bride in the foreground and the groom in the background hug guests after the ceremony.
