Blue Jacket Brewery Photographer for AWP | Events

The Association of Wedding Professionals (AWP) is made up of a variety of wedding professionals in the Washington DC metro area.  They host either a networking or learning event for members on a monthly basis. Past events have included trips to Wedding Wire headquarters in Maryland, social networking, and industry speakers from across the country. 

Becoming a member is a prestigious honor only bestowed upon those who have set the highest standards within the wedding community of DC. A minimum of two years and 24 weddings is required to even be considered for acceptance. As someone who is somewhat new to the industry, I was humbled to have the opportunity to interact with such seasoned, knowledgeable professionals. I was there as the photographer for the yearly "fun" event that was held at Blue Jacket Brewery in DC on the waterfront, complete with delicious food, a photo booth, and an impressive brewery tour.

A huge "thank you!" goes out to Karen Berl from RSVP Events in Stafford, VA for helping me secure this fantastic opportunity! Also to Tyler Fitzhugh, VP of AWP and owner of Voila Event Studio, for being so welcoming during my first experience with AWP. I cannot recommend this group enough -- anyone in the wedding profession should look in to attending one of their upcoming events.
