As January has quickly come to an end, I have some great news to share with everyone. It's a big milestone for Minnow Park Photography: I have been accepted into the Wedding Photojournalist Association; I'm listed under New York and New Jersey. It's an international organization that was "founded to uphold excellence in the area of wedding photojournalism" as quoted from their vision statement.

Wedding photojournalism encompasses my approach to weddings and any other event that I cover. I want to document the events without interference and to capture genuine moments as they happen in front of me. And so I'm proud to be a part of an organization that understands the value of such photography.

Needless to say, I'm very excited and after looking at the photography of my fellow members, I'm challenged to work even harder and improve my own photography.
