Acceptance to Wedding Photojournalist Association!!

I just learned that I have been accepted into the Wedding Photojourmalist Association (WPJA). According to their website,
"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."

Their mission statment is as follows: " 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."

The organization accepts only a small number (approximately 10%) of photographers who apply and meet their strict standards of artistic ability and documentary style.

I am thrilled that they accepted my application and I look forward to working with them and the other members.
Check out their website at: http://www.wpja.com (my listing should be up in a few days).

Lindsey and Mike's Wedding at Chico

Lindsey and Mike had the most beautiful March day for their wedding. The sun was shining and it was about 50 degrees, which is nearly tropical for early March in Montana! They had a small, intimate family wedding at Chico Hot Springs in the Paradise Valley that I am so glad I was able to document! The ceremony was held before the fireplace and then after dancing and cocktails they moved to the beautiful wine cellar for toasting and a wedding day feast. It was a wonderful family affair, with even the little kids chiming in with their toasts of good wished for Lindsey and Mike. We felt like part of the family when we left! I wish you both the best of luck and thank you for having me there on your special day!
