2022 JUDGES
Raphaëlle Granger
For the last 10 years, I’ve lived for the natural, the true, the authentic. For what makes each couple unique, each story different. I don’t believe in poses or in recreating a moment. All that I photograph is happening in the moment, so it can live for ever and ever. For me the best images are the ones that mark our imaginations, give us chills and breathe sensitivity.
Mark and Tracey Crown
Mark and Tracey own Crown Photography & Film, a studio in Camrose, Alberta. They capture weddings together across western Canada and hold a strong belief that the experience of being photographed matters just as much as the final images. Because of this, they work hard to empower their clients to feel confident and beautiful so that they can look back on their photos with a sense of pride and excitement. The Crowns were judges with WCWA in 2019 and WCWA is excited to have them back.

2019 JUDGES
Mark and Tracey Crown Brandi Potter
Neither of us started out intending to pursue a career as a wedding photographer. But now that we’ve found this amazing work, we can truly say that it has become our passion. Together, we photograph/film weddings across western Canada and we believe that the experience of being photographed matters just as much as the final images. Because of this we work hard to help our client’s enjoy their time in front of the lens.
