Wedding Photojournalists Association

So, I found out the other day that I was accepted into the WPJA ... sweet! I'm excited to be a part of a group that has so many consistently talented wedding photojournalists.

I was REALLY looking forward to entering some of my images into their quarterly contest, but it looks like the payment and the whole process of getting my account set up made it so I barely missed the deadline. So sad. Next time. I was so stoked about it partly because the judges for this quarter (and hopefully other quarters), are some of the members of VII, a photo agency comprised of some of the world's best photojournalists (James Nachtwey, Lauren Greenfield and Antonin Kratochvil are particularly amazing). How cool would it be to have some of my heroes judging my images?

I'll have some new blog material in a day or two ... and something that I'm getting pretty excited about, and may be able to share on here soon. Couple good ideas bouncing around in Ye Olde Skull of mine.

Here's the slideshow from Jessica and Stephen's beautiful wedding ... enjoy, peoples :). Crank the speakers!

Jessica and Stephen tied the knot a couple weeks ago at the beautiful Bella Luca Gardens in Snohomish, WA. It was an awesome, hot, colorful and emotional day. This was officially the first time I've (almost) cried at a wedding ... the bond between Jess and Stephen, and Jess and her dad especially, was really moving.

I had a heck of a time picking out less than 1 billion photos to blog, so I apologize if it loads a little slow.

I loved being there for your day guys!
































i loved this sequence right before Jessica and her dad walked down the aisle...














I think Jessica's hand slipped when she was feeding Stephen the cake. Oops ;)













Congrats again, guys, I hope your new life is blessed beyond belief.
