Established in 1988 under the chairmanship of Derek Avery, the Society of
Wedding and Portrait Photographers was founded to service the needs of
professional wedding and portrait photographers, whether in full- or part-time
occupations.
Founded at much the same time, the British Professional Photographers
Associates, under the leadership of Nigel Greenstreet, was working with similar
goals but encompassed a broader range of photographers.
Early in January 2000, the now Chief Executive of SWPP Phillip Jones was
delighted to announce the merger between these two prominent organisations,
under the umbrella of the SWPP. In a joint statement they believed that the new
society would form one of the strongest photographic organisations in the UK,
and their commitment to improving already high standards would be of benefit to
all.
The Society has seen its membership grow rapidly over the last year, with not
only UK members but international photographers being keen to associate
themselves with SWPP and BPPA – a testament to the success of the Society as a
whole.
