Top 100 Photographers of the Year 2025

Proud to announce our Top 100 Wedding Photographers of 2025. This year, one Award was enough to make the list — but that’s not a sign of things being easier; in fact, it shows the opposite. Fewer photographers earned multiple Awards, meaning competition was fierce and the standard incredibly high. Every winning image and Story passed through our five-judge system with all work considered side-by-side — no categories and no fixed number of winners. Congratulations to all who feature.

Special congratulations to David Scholes, for becoming our Overall Photographer of the Year, and also our Storyteller of the Year (the latter title incredibly being his fourth win!). With a truly remarkable 22 Awards won in 2025, it’s a special achievement. You can see one of his Awards above.

You can also discover our Top 25 Storytellers, along with Top 10 lists for Belgium, France, India, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Romania, the UK, and the USA.

*Ranking is determined by overall number of Awards won in 2025; in the case of a tie, the photographer who won the most Story Awards ranks higher.
