I am extremely excited to introduce the Fearless Photographers to the LDW readers! Fearless Photographers is an online directory of some of the best photographers out there and we are lucky enough to have featured some of them right here on our blog!
If you are looking for a wedding photographer look no further because the perfect one can be found on the Fearless website! So, without further ado, here is what you need to know about the Fearless Photographers along with some of the award winning photos!

Tell us a little about what you do.
FEARLESS PHOTOGRAPHERS is a unique directory of the world’s boldest, baddest wedding photographers… a fearless photographer is not afraid to push the limits of wedding photography… to go beyond what is traditionally expected of a wedding photographer. Basically, we kick ass.
With Fearless, we really wanted to create something unique for brides. While most wedding directories list based on the amount photographers pay for prime blog real estate, our directory instead lists photographers based on photographic excellence. We do this through hosting our quarterly Fearless Awards. Any photographer can list on Fearless, but only those that continue to challenge themselves and win Fearless awards will rise to the top and have the ability to show images. Our expert curators (curators like DQ Studios, Anna Kuperberg, Ben Chrisman, JVS.. the list goes on) select only the very best.. only less than 1 out of 10 of all images submitted are selected for an award.

Once an award is won, that image will be displayed on the photographer’s profile page. The more awards you have, the higher your ranking in the Fearless listings. A bride can easily put out an availability request for her date and location, then all photographers interested can answer that request and are listed for her in order of location and Fearless Awards won. We feel this makes it much easier for a discerning bride to find the best photographer for her!
How long have you been in business? Fearless Photographers was launched in January 2011.
What inspired you to start your business? We wanted to make a wedding photography directory that rewards photographers’ work rather than how much they pay.

What is your favorite thing about your business? It showcases truly incredible wedding photographs.Was there a defining moment when you knew you picked the right career path? I know am on the right career path when I get up in the morning excited about what I am going to at work that day.
