In my re-newed effort to blog the latest news, weddings, portraits etc I thought it might be prudent to post some quite exciting news that happened a short while ago. My wedding photography has gained me the distinction of becoming the Master Photographer Association (MPA Central Region) Contemporary Wedding Photographer of the year and overall Wedding Photographer of the Year 2012 (for the second year running), as well as the title of Contemporary Portrait Photographer of the Year! All in all I picked up 23 awards including 17 merits.
I have to say, I am quite chuffed as this follows on from becoming the MPA London and Essex Region Photographer of the Year 3 years ago, so a triple whammy.
The awards themselves had some of the regions top photographers present, so to walk away with a hat full of awards as well as the 'big' one was fantastic. As much as I wanted to win, I felt really inspired by some of the work that was entered and I left the evening feeling that the strength of photography in the East of England is at an all time high as far as the serious pro's and serious businesses are concerned. This can only be good news for the future couples that see wedding and portrait photography as more than just a commodity and something more akin to 'art'!
