There are those couples who wouldn’t think of banning their favorite creature from their wedding, whether it is a dog, a cat, or a parakeet. They would rather drop one of their family members from the invitation list than their beloved pets. Aunt Martha, meet Bowser. Then there are the vast majority of animal lovers whose anxiety over their pets’ unpredictable behavior keeps them from extending an invitation to them. There are also those who waffle back and forth on the matter. They would love...Read more

Hi, I'm David! I'm a documentary wedding photographer who believes in real, raw, emotional photography. I have traveled and lived in many countries and states, always pursuing adventure and good stories. This is how I came to be a photographer: every family's story is unique and I love making it visual. There is always emotion - sometimes a subtle hand brush, other times hugs or tears. Finding those moments and saving them for you is what I do. [Missoula Wedding Photographer]

Since 1999, I have been a professional photographer serving in Minneapolis, MN, Seattle, WA and international destinations.

My big foray into professional photography began with moving to the US from Malaysia with my husband in 2006 and our two kids. Having worked as a reporter and eventually an editor for 12 years in the business and tech industry, I didn't want to go back to the publishing world since I was going to be a stay-at-home mom. With my training in event and product photography as well as story-telling, I started with some family portraiture and eventually moved into weddings. I discovered that it contained the same energy as journalism and the flexible schedule was ideal for our situation. A decade later, I still feel the same energy and love for weddings and portraits. The drama, the celebration, the big production for just one day - it's a great gig. If you vibe with my work, I'd love to chat more! [Seattle Wedding Photographer]

It is through such fleeting details that some wedding photojournalists earn their keep. With a professional eye honed through years of visual training and practice, they constantly scan the wedding scene...Read more

While you may have picked out a beautiful, rustic church, a serene outdoor setting, and a posh reception hall as ideal backdrops to your wedding photographs, the shots don't stop there. Remember: The wedding photojournalist's mission is to document the entire day. And one of the often overlooked, and maybe under-appreciated settings for photos during your wedding day occurs while the bride, groom and other members of the wedding party are in a car, limo, party bus or other forms of...Read more
Many WPJA members can trace their roots to the news profession in some way, having shot everything from small-town stories to significant historical events that have led to Pulitzer Prizes.

There’s also the gratification of getting published with a byline in a major publication, and the mass-...Read more
Weddings can be chaotic, noisy affairs where emotions are displayed publicly, so one of your biggest challenges that day can be capturing that quiet, intimate side. Trust, anticipation, skilled observation, savvy lens selection and a host of other judgments make it possible to bag those poignant moments in images that recall the day for those in attendance, and reveal a story for those who were not. It is all part of the unique value proposition that our members bring to wedding photojournalism.Read more
