3 mistakes to avoid when hiring a wedding photographer

Here is a link to an article on another blog - "International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers." It may offer some insight for choosing the right photographer for your wedding.

And I was quoted in the piece, they also used one of my favorite wedding images (below). A candid moment between the bride and her mom - just before leaving the Commonwealth Club in Richmond.

Above is my 9th place photo - "First Dance" category. But you should check out all of the images from the latest WPJA worldwide contest - WPJA Contest Results  . 

The Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA) is also a perfect place to begin your search for a wedding photographer. The primary emphasis of the organization is really geared to photojournalism and editorial style wedding coverage.
