I love photographing weddings, to have been recognised with some of the most prestigious international wedding photography awards for my work is truly humbling and makes me very proud. As grateful as I am to be recognised as an award winning wedding photographer, the most valuable thing is the feedback I’ve received from the lovely couples I’ve worked with. That’s why I do this and why I love it.
Winning UK Wedding Photographer of the Year in 2020 and 2019 from the Masters of Wedding Photography has been a huge achievement for me, with 41 lifetime awards from the organisation. I’ve also been privileged to speak to top wedding photographers at some of the biggest and best wedding photography conferences in the world, as well as being selected to judge some world-class wedding photography competitions.
I’ve included a list of my awards (if you are interested) and some of my award winning wedding photos on this page. As of 2020, I’ve decided not to enter contests anymore – I think I have enough awards now!
I would love to grab my camera and capture some more WOW moments at your wedding, so please do get in touch.
