Anyone who knows me I’m a self confessed photographer groupie, so I’m always excited when one of my favourite associations- The Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA) presents its awards for the year.

Photographers enter photos into 10 categories

• Getting Ready
• Ceremony
• Reception
• Kids
• Details
• Action
• Emotion
• Creative Portraits
• Reception Ambiance
• Toasting

The shots you’ll see while checking out the WPJA awards are truly breathtaking- from the bride crying over her brother’s photo (Charlotte Geary, Emotion) to a flowergirl not wanting to let go of a loved one (Reena Rose Sibayan, Kids). While you’re pouring over the shots, head over to the directory to find Australian Photographers who are members and will help you out if you love the candid style WPJA members are famous for!
