Pretty pumped about my WPJA award. I joined late last year and this is the second contest I’ve entered. I submitted all manner of photojournalist images but they chose a portrait from Emilie & Zack’s courthouse DC segway wedding. Gotta say, that was a pretty sweet wedding/portrait session, so I can’t blame WPJA for thinking it was awesome.
So first thing, I have to share that I am super-excited to have been accepted into the Wedding Photojournalist Association. When I first started out, I was searching for photographers to second for and my entire first set of contacts came from a WPJA list for Washington, DC. It was really my jumping-off point for wedding photography and I’m very honored to be able to join its ranks.
