Top Wedding Photographer Accolade

I’m super excited to announce that I have been selected in Master Manchester‘s Top Wedding Photographers. What a great honour!

Online Masterclass Speaker

I was asked by the great community of Ninedots to give an online masterclass titled: ‘How to make your website do 90% of the sales work’.

Photographer’s Keeping It Real Award

I was completely bowled over that I won not one, but two award winning photos with Photographers Keeping It Real. This is a really special wedding photography group for only real moment photography, which is exactly what I am about. No posed shots allowed, and that is how I think it should be.

Photographer’s Keeping It Real Award

The image above was taken at a wedding on the Wirral. Utilising the cameras screen, the camera was actually on the floor by the brides foot, and taken as she was laughing with friends.

The image opposite was pure luck. This cat just walked through the guests sat for the ceremony and walked past the isle as the couple were just about to walk back down the isle.

 

Best UK Wedding Photograph Award

I was hugely delighted to hear that I had won Best UK Wedding Photograph. Literally thousands of photographers were entered. A judging panel narrowed this down to a final twelve and votes were cast from previous wedding couples, magazines and industry experts. Carlene & Mark couldn’t have been more please either as it was they that featured in the winning photo you can see above – taken at The Saddleworth Hotel not far from where I live in the September.
