I did it! I have finally been accepted into the WPJA. I applied several years ago and was not accepted. Over the past few years, I feel that I have reached a turning point in my photography career. I now strive to cover weddings in a documentary style and WPJA has taken notice. Many of my clients still want a few "relaxed" portraits with their family, but if you are looking to have your wedding covered completely in a documentary style - just ask. Here is the official press release:
