Wow – the good news keeps coming this week. After being accepted into the International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers I’ve now just found out that my application to join the Wedding Photojournalist Association has also been successful!!!
They say ‘The Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA) is a professional organization composed of photojournalists and wedding photographers from around the world. What sets our members apart in the industry is their candid, documentary approach – a distinctly artistic vision toward wedding photography. The Wedding Photojournalist Association 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.’
Once again this is an international organisation that you cannot ‘buy’ your way into (unlike many, sadly). There are strict admission criteria with only around 5% of applicants being successful. It’s another huge confirmation of the quality of my work by my peers and gives backing to my photojournalist credentials.
I’m thrilled to be members of both of these prestigious, peer-reviewed organisations. Here’s a screengrab of my listing:
