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).
