We’re THRILLED that we can finally announce that we’ve been selected to an exciting new group called Best of Wedding Photography. To be chosen for this group we were vetted by several of the world’s most accomplished wedding photographers as doing the most interesting/creative/exciting/emotional/etc. work in the industry. We are one of only two (now three) Philadelphia area studios on the list of 100 or so very accomplished wedding photographers worldwide. We’re looking forward to being a part of what looks to be a group that will set a new standard of excellence in the wedding industry in connecting discriminating brides and grooms with photographers of the highest quality. Check out our profile page.

A few years ago, when I was still an unmarried newspaper photographer and didn’t much think about weddings or wedding photography, a group called Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA) started out as a way to help brides find photographers all over the world who were doing work in the spirit of photojournalism or documentary photography. At the time the group was started, photojournalism was peaking as the new rage in wedding photography. Mainstream couples had firmly embraced the idea of spontaneous, honest, emotion filled pictures of their wedding day. Like any trend, some loved and embraced it and others weren’t sure what to make of it. Things of settled out a bit, wedding photojournalists aren’t the industry upstarts any more and trend setters are looking to come up with the new “thing.” One thing that I really like about BOWP, is that it’s just simply about good photography regardless of the labels. It’s fun to be a part of a group that’s got so many influences and backgrounds all lumped together.
