MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION FORM FOR JOINING THE AG|WPJA

Membership is for individuals, not groups, businesses, studios or teams. The AG|WPJA often reviews web sites that display images from multiple photographers. While we understand and appreciate the team coverage approach to wedding photography, it's important for the AG|WPJA to be able to identify and review the image portfolio of the individual applying for membership.
