I'm pleased to share these winning images from the last contest of 2025 for the Wedding Photojournalist Association. Final placement for 2025 was #22 in the world, #4 in the U.S.
The first image is just after the ceremony at Katie + Alex's @320guestranch wedding.
The second image is from Ang + Sean's wedding in North Fork, Idaho.
The third is from Melanie + Corwin's Yellowstone elopement.

The look of pure bliss on this couple’s faces says it all. Captured by Montana wedding photographer David Clumpner @davidclumpner , this candid portrait beautifully reflects their easy intimacy and joyful connection. Known for his relaxed photojournalistic style, David has a gift for capturing fleeting moments that feel both timeless and true. It’s portraits like this that become all-time favorites and deserve to be framed and shared.
Thank you, David, for letting us feature your exceptional work!

A couple of recent Fearless Awards! These are the most coveted awards for those of us who specialize in wedding photojournalism, so I'm honored to have two in one year.
These images were taken at Kalle + Kyle's Yellowstone elopement and Carly and Billy's Sage Lodge wedding in Paradise Valley, Montana.
