Our destination contest is the perfect way to kick off the summer travel season. Each year, wedding photographers worldwide submit images that capture both love and the beauty of their destination. This contest celebrates the art of blending stunning landscapes with genuine connection, no matter the distance traveled.
For 2025, we welcomed guest judges Froydis Geithus (Norway), Axioo (Indonesia), and Adventure & Vow (US West Coast) to help select the top destination photos. As you can imagine, it’s a tough process. So every year, we also honor a select group of standout images as our contest runner-ups, or Honorable Mentions. Scroll through our Honorable Mention photos below and prepare to be inspired—and maybe even start planning your next adventure.
