No poses; nothing staged: This is Reportage
Welcome to the home of the best documentary wedding photographers in the world. If you want the vast majority of your day to be pose-free, then you’re in the right place, as our members all highly value the documentary approach (though most will capture groups and portraits, too, should you wish). Internationally recognised as one of the most difficult awards to win in the industry, our Reportage & Story Awards feature only the very best in moment-capturing.
It’s a whole new awards year – one of the best times to join us if you’re looking to feature on our Top Photographers & Top Storytellers lists, as our first Awards round of 2025 is open for submissions now. Deadline is 23:59 GMT on 24th January 2025. You need to be a member to submit – join us over here.
Because moments matter most
Showcasing the very best in documentary wedding photography: Nothing staged, no poses, just pure, natural images taken by some of the world’s very best photographers.
Brides and grooms, find the photographer who’ll catch your Dad’s tears, your friend’s dancefloor ‘moves’, your own glances of embarrassment during the speeches.
Photographers, feature your moment-catching skills to that worldwide audience.

Reportage & Story Awards
We have two different types of awards: Reportage Awards, for individual frames, and Story Awards, for a series of images from a single wedding – because we want to recognise both those single great moments, and the skill of creative storytelling.
Our Awards are incredibly tough, with just the top few percent being awarded. View our latest Collection here.
With a transparent judging process, the *only* factor as to what gets awarded, is the strength of the images themselves.
