Well – thank you 2015 – You were awesome!
Can’t quite believe i have now been shooting weddings for 4 years – such an amazing ride! This year started on a high when I was awarded the title of Best Wedding Photographer in England at ‘The Wedding Industry Awards’. The awards are the biggest and most prestigious of their kind in the UK and to be recognised both by my couples, and also my peers, with the title of best wedding photographer was awesome and humbling!
Since then I have traveled the world documenting weddings, teaching workshops and speaking at various conferences and events. 2016 looks set to be just as good and I cant wait to get stuck in! A huge shout out has to go to my NineDot buddies/awesome photographers: Adam Johnson, Rahul Khona & Mick Shah – not only for their help, guidance and inspiration, but also for being part of the awesome NineDots journey we embarked upon back in February. The NineDots Gathering in November was beyond epic, and we have lots more plans for the future!
Although the award and recognitions are nice, the more I do this crazy science-art i get to call my job, the more I realise that what really matters are the people who you are making these images for. So if anything, this post is one huge thank you to those couples who trusted in me to come along on the biggest day of their lives, and let me in to craft their story with my camera. YOU ROCK! ALL OF YOU!
So, enough chatter, hope you all enjoy a few of my favourite moments and images from this last year!
