The average American couple spends just under $30,000 on a wedding, and for many, the photographer is a big chunk of that budget.
To mark the start of their happily ever afters, most couples take photos — some even traveling to an epic location or a particularly meaningful spot — to get the perfect image.
Junebug Weddings has an annual photo contest to choose the best wedding photos worldwide.
Here are its winners from 2024.
