AGWPJA Photographer of the Year - 3rd Place
It was with a great deal of delight that I discovered that I have come third in the prestigious AGWPJA Wedding Photographer of the Year competition. This competition draws entries from some of the best wedding photographers across the world and is awarded based on results across a quarterly series of competitions throughout the year. Regular readers will have seen my previous posts about winning images in the quarterly competitions (you can see them via the side bar under Press).
From the AG website:
'The Artistic Guild of the Wedding Photojournalist Association is comprised of outstanding wedding photographers, who are at the forefront of the wedding photography industry when it comes to enhancing images. The chief objective of the AG|WPJA is to provide members with a platform where the finest enhanced, manipulated and/or artistic wedding photojournalism in the world is spotlighted and promoted for the bride and groom.
The AG|WPJA establishes and upholds high standards that are taken into consideration during the judging process for our wedding photography contests. Using all artistic tools at their disposal, members skillfully enliven their work in post production processing.'
To come third in this International competition is one of my proudest moments to date. Members of the AGWPJA are some of best known and talented wedding photographers in the world so to earn third place overall in such good company feels very special.
Not to get all Oscar like but I have to say a big thank you to all my fantastic bride and grooms, the venues and their staff and all the colleagues I have worked with on so many amazing weddings. Above all thank you to my family for all their love and support. Time to celebrate!!
