From time to time we get asked from potential customers about our professional memberships. We are sharing this information not to brag about us but to inform.
Currently we are members of the following professional photography organizations:

The WPJA is an organization of photojournalists and wedding photographers from around the world that photograph weddings in a candid, documentary style
Membership to WPJA is very strict and less tan 5 percent of wedding photographers qualify for membership. Membership is based not only on web site and image quality, but also on technical expertise and integrity.

The AGWPJA is a group of international wedding photojournalists, who capture unscripted wedding moments as they happen, and excel in the art of post-production image processing. For the current wedding photography contest I have been invited to be a judge.
