Top 25 Storytellers of the Year 2025

Delighted to reveal our Top 25 Storytellers of 2025. Again and again we hear the same thing from members: Reportage Awards are amazing to win, but it’s the Story Awards that really hit differently. Fifteen to twenty images from a single wedding – one uninterrupted narrative, one unfolding reality – where consistency, rhythm and storytelling truly matter. To win even one takes timing, trust, creativity and focus. To win multiple, like everyone featured here, is exceptional. These are some of the very best wedding storytellers in the world.

Special mention to David Scholes for becoming our Storyteller of the Year for an incredible fourth time! He also became our Overall Photographer of the Year – a truly special achievement. You can see one of his Story Awards above.

You can also discover our Top 100 Photographers along with Top 10 lists for Belgium, France, India, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Romania, the UK, and the USA.

No poses; nothing staged: This is Reportage.
