Why we enter

A jury sees the photograph. Nothing else.

Competitions are judged by other photographers. They do not know the couple, the venue or the story around the frame. They see one image and ask whether it holds on its own.

That is why I enter. It keeps me honest. A photograph that wins in that room is a moment that was really there, not a pose that photographed well, and it is the kind of photograph you will still want to look at in twenty years.

What it means for you

The awards stay on this page. The photographs go home with you.

You will not see a trophy at your wedding. You will see someone who arrives early, knows who matters most to you and keeps looking after the planned photographs are done. The awards are what happens when that habit meets a jury.

“Literally every single picture was a keeper.”Ryan F, on The Knot
