David & Luke Edmonson began their careers in commercial photography, shooting magazines, books, CD covers and annual reports. Commercial work often took them to separate parts of the world, which made it difficult for Luke and his father David to spend time shooting together. In 2003, after nearly 40 combined years in the commercial photography industry, Luke and David decided to team up and add to their repertoire wedding photography launching Edmonson Weddings. David & Luke are recognized around the world as leaders in the field of Wedding & Portrait Photography. Luke and David are passionate followers of the principle that Iron sharpens Iron and it manifests itself in their continuous participation in print competitions at home and around the globe. Firm believers that competition is about more than winning awards and accolades; it's about pushing yourself in a never ending pursuit of growth. Never the less, the honors and accolades have followed acknowledging them both as Master Photographers. With the revamped WPPI rankings and accolades program, Luke currently holds the Master of WPPI as well as having been awarded the Master of Photography (M.Photog) & Certified Professional Photographer (CPP) degrees from PPA. With their exceptional gift for photography, and being respected as artists by their peers and clients, comes a responsibility to give back to others. Mentoring "the next generation" by serving as Print Judges and Educators Luke & David have established themselves as sought after professional speakers while guiding their local photography community. Both have served on the board as Directors of Education and as President of the Dallas Professional Photographers Association. In 2014, Luke will take over the reins as President of DPPA.
