Photography contests often attract the best of the best which means they are always a great source of inspiration and the International Society Of Professional Wedding Photographers is no exception. Four times a year a competition is held for the best wedding photographs in various categories such as ‘All about light’ and ‘Family Love’.
In total there are twenty categories and the result is a collection of some of the most beautiful and inspiring wedding photographs we have ever seen. When you consider the fact that wedding photography is something that has to be captured on the day and that there are no re-shots the photos become even more impressive.
As the photography societies website puts:
“You have to get it right the first time, every time. You have to be a master of the craft and know your gear so well that you can make adjustments on the fly, without thinking or hesitating. And you have to do it for 8, 10, or 12 hours in close quarters with clients who have put their trust in you to get it right.”
Below are some the every best photos from 2014.
