Last night was the Wedding Industry Awards regional finals for the West Midlands and not only was I lucky enough to have made it through as a regional finalist again, I also won the Regional Highly Commended Award for the second year in a row.

Last night was the Wedding Industry Awards regional finals for the West Midlands and not only was I lucky enough to have made it through as a regional finalist, I also won the Regional Highly Commended Award. This was my first time being a part of these prestigious awards and I am over the moon to have received this award.

I submitted my application and portfolio to the international Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA) for consideration of my WPJA membership and I am thrilled to have had my application approved today.

WPJA is a professional organization composed of photojournalists and wedding photographers from around the world. What sets their members apart in the industry is their candid, documentary approach.
