I’ve been waiting all week to share some brilliant news with you, and now the wait is over.
I’m happy to announce that I am now a proud member of the Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA)
Why am I happy?
Well, it’s because I’m honoured to be part of a community which has some of the worlds most talented and inspirational wedding photographers as members.
Quotes from the WPJA website:
“The WPJA puts the world’s best wedding photography at your fingertips. We offer a new perspective on wedding photography – quietly capturing the real moments as they happen for the bride and groom.
It is our goal to use photography to tell the story of your wedding day, not dictate it for you.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Membership in the WPJA depends entirely on photographers meeting our high standards for inclusion. One CANNOT simply pay his/her way into the WPJA. We emphasize this is NOT another ad-driven wedding web site”
“The Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA), an International, membership-based organization, represents professional photographers skilled in the documentation of weddings and events in a candid, unobtrusive style. The WPJA was founded to uphold excellence in the area of wedding photojournalism.“
“Leading the way in Wedding Photojournalism, WPJA represents the most discriminating talent around the world technically, creatively and visually. Qualified members hold industry-leading standards, skills and business integrity.”
Now you know why I’m happy. This will now give me that extra drive to keep pushing for excellence and grow as a wedding photojournalist.
