International Aperture Awards 2010



I don't normally enter competitions.  I honestly don't know why, but it's something I rarely do.  But earlier this year I did put an entry into the International Aperture Awards.  This is a competition that attracts entries from over 90 countries around the world, and thousands of entries from professional photographers.  There are various categories, covering all kinds of photography, including weddings.

Earlier this week I received news that I'd received a Bronze Award for my entry.  So I'm chuffed to say the least.  It's rewarding to know that not only do my clients like the work I do for them (and Holly and James, at whose wedding the image was captured, are completely lovely people and have been so complimentary that it makes me blush), but that my photographic peers rate what I do as well.

Not often that I blow my own trumpet, but today I feel it's a bit justified.

Here's the shot I entered.




Once again, thank you Holly and James for such a wonderfully fun day (despite the rain). 

Plenty more of my work is available to view on my website
