We're now in Judging week: Winners of Collection 42 to be announced soon...

Welcome to ‘This is 2021’, where some of our members – 179 of them, to be exact! – share some of their favourite documentary wedding captures from last year. We’re featuring one image per member who contributed, but note that doesn’t mean it’s their single favourite shot of 2021 – how hard would it be to pick just one? – but each image is definitely in that photographer’s Top 5 favourites of the year.

Brides and grooms, are you looking for a photographer to capture all those unique moments of your day, without interfering or controlling the action? Check out the work and portfolios of the photographers below, or head over here to search by location.

Photographers, would you like to join us? It’s a whole new Awards-year here on This is Reportage, and you have the best chance to be on our Top 100 Photographers in the World and Top Storytellers in the World lists for 2022 if you enter the very first Collection. The deadline is soon: Submit by 23:59 GMT on 24th January 2022. Apply to join us to submit.
