WPJA

I found out today that I was accepted into the prestigious WPJA (Wedding Photojournalist Association)....I am thrilled! This was pretty cool because they actually had professionals evaluate my work and website to see if I meet their high standards. It only took 3 weeks of sweating it out and not hearing a word! So funny because they specifically tell you on their application that "WPJA will not notify you if you have not been accepted....", so you can imagine how long the last 3 weeks have been! Now that I'm a member, I kind of feel more official..haha
Here is a little tid bit about WPJA that I learned today (from the website)
