The Best Wedding Photos Of 2018 Show What Happens When You Pay For A Good Photographer
Wedding photography has evolved into a significant profession of its own over the years, encompassing a variety of styles and approaches to help document one of the most important days in a couple's life.
Naturally then, like any artistic profession, there is a place where your skills can be recognized and judged by your peers. Fearless Awards is a curated competition which unveils a carefully-chosen collection of top-class wedding pictures every two months (you can also find the best of 2017 here).
"Fearless Photographers was founded in 2010 when I was still a working wedding photographer. I am now retired from wedding photography so I can work full-time on the Fearless Photographers business. I founded Fearless to showcase the work of the best photographers specialized in weddings who made amazingly beautiful images that went beyond typical wedding ceremony photography. I wanted to compile collections of these wedding photos to show the world how unique and breathtaking couple photos could be," the creator of Fearless Photographers told Bored Panda.
These awards recognize only the very best wedding photos, only 2 out of every 100 submissions are chosen, so prepare to be truly inspired! "Right now, about 3,100 wedding photographers are listed on the site. Our "Fearless" community is very active in efforts to educate, inspire, and help each other."
Bored Panda has compiled a list of some of the most impressive, artistic and cute pictures of the year so far, images that perfectly capture the drama, emotion and pure joy of getting hitched. Scroll down below to check them out for yourself, and vote for your favorites too!

Am just tearful at the quality of emotion in this one image. I dont understand someone who doesnt get it .This is the moment you are giving your precious daughter away to another man. This is the most beautiful you will ever see her and it is the last day she will be your child and under your protection.

it seems like he's setting her on fire, rather than putting it out... Just the way it should be! 😊💕

Being the mom of a 2-1/2 year old, I so relate! Holding it is sometimes needed for proper aim- nothing wrong with this, why are people so uncomfortable with this, blows me away.
Laney Jones 7 years ago
Seriously! I can relate too, my son pulled his pants down in the front yard the other day but if he were in a suit I would help him for proper aim!

Why is she making that face as she holds his peepee? I never held my son's. Never heard of any one holding their son's penis, but I guess so he wouldn't pee on his clothes?
Tiff Gonzalez 7 years ago
So he wouldnt pee all over his suit im guessing? Though its still weird..

For goodness sake, some of the comments here. It's funny and she is just parenting. Weird to find anything else to this.

This is NOT parenting. Parents teach their children to use the toilet!

The baby on the left is going to the photographer : "I see what you're doing here."

The child piddles from the middle of his chest? Or is his apparatus particularly long? :/

These photographers are all wonderfully talented. I try to look at these pictures in the context of a wedding album ... what joy and fun it would be to come across these photos as I spent time looking through a whole book of the wedding .... and to the bride and groom ... all the things captured they were too busy to be able to enjoy along the way ....

I know I married a Navy Man, but holding his toddler's hose is another issue... creepy at best.

For me.. those tears are product of that overwhelming feeling of love. When you love someone SO MUCH that it just fills you and you can't believe that this person, this beautiful, amazing person loves you back, you feel amazed by thinking how happy you are because s/he exists and how s/he can make you feel this way, and experience this profound and pure LOVE.

Its the "haldi" ceremony in Indian weddings. "Haldi" or turmeric powder is applied by the friends and family on bride before the wedding day. It helps improve skin complexion during the actual wedding.

This is great. It shows the sacrifice that a mother gives of here body, time, and energy even on her wedding day to her little one.

It is very easy to judge when you are not the one behind the camera. Wedding's are some of the most difficult moments to photograph well. There are so many factors - the bride, groom,guest and weather do not always cooperate. It is a very stressful job, you must have ability to see and capture the ordinary and spot the extraordinary and catch it in an instant. It really is a gift. Use of photo editing can enhance a ordinary photo and make it sublime. Expectations of what will be captured is very high and a great wedding photographer meets and exceeds those expectations with barely being noticed. I loved all of these photographs. Kudos to the photographer(s) who took them.

I love to try my hand at all types of photography, but would never want to be a wedding photographer the beautiful photos in this post will inspire me to up my game elsewhere, however

i feel like this was really just an ad for the photographer. it didn't appear that there were multiple photographers or maybe it's just multiple companies. It was effective. Definitely amazing work. Memories.
Jayme Williams 7 years ago
Amazing! After the big day all you have are the memories and photos. A great photographer will capture some of those moments that you missed as well.
Hugo Raible 7 years ago
Just be aware that this is not the standard, but the best of the best. You'd need to hire those people and they need to have a good day to get these results.

This post mostly shows a bunch of people more concerned with being able to look good online than anything to do with what a marriage ceremony is for. It's really discouraging.

How so? I’d love to know the reasoning behind that opinion. Is it cultural or personal or some other reason?

I honestly did not find most of these really great. A lot of photo shop. The ones that spoke to me were the natural ones that showed the love the couple felt for each other

As a photographer I can assure you that almost all photos you see are photoshopped to hell, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's like how people complain about CGI in movies; you only complain when you notice it (i.e: when it's done poorly). When it's done poorly in reportage-style shooting it sticks out like a sore thumb.
