Welcome to The Wedding Photographic Society (WPS). We're a network of professional photographers who come together to collaborate on photographic ideas, thoughts, and information in an attempts to elevate the artistic, technical, and business standards of the wedding photographic community. Membership in the WPS offers many professional & personal growth opportunities via bi-monthly educational meetings, networking, critiques, and general camaraderie during such gatherings. WPS meetings, forums, blog submissions, & web pages are open to any and all professional wedding photographers throughout the world.

The WPS's origins date back to 2005, when North Carolina photographer Christobal Perez organized quarterly photography meetings in an effort to help build relationships, share knowledge amongst peers, and help create a competitive, yet supportive photographic community. The spirit of Christobal's movement has grown exponentially since that time and has since evolved into the WPS(which became official in 2009) with the further support of other local photographers, Shane Snider, Robin Lin, Martha Manning, Stacy Borelli, & Brian Mullins. Leaders & members of the WPS donate their time to organize topic discussions with guest speakers, collaborate on ideas and offer guidance, all without compensation.

With an initial membership of over 60 photographers, the decision was made to open our doors worldwide in attempts to share this movement throughout the world. With that goal in mind, the WPS launched their website, forums, & blogs to bring together the professional wedding photographic community. Information presented at each meeting will be available on the web for all to enjoy and benefit from. To officially become a member of the WPS simply create an account on our forum (www.weddingphotographicsociety.com/forum) and contribute helpful items and of course, your photographs!

Thank you for being a member of the WPS and we look forward to your future contributions to the society.
