Scottish Wedding Awards 2023

The Scottish Wedding Awards is one of my favourite nights of the year. Its a brilliant night where all kinds of businesses from the wedding industry come together and celebrate the success of the industry over the last year. The best of the best of the industry are nominated in their categories and excitement is in the air. I was lucky enough this year to be nominated for Wedding Photographer of the year North Region, I was the only nominee from Moray area and that in itself is a huge success!

I attended the event with one of my closest friends Becky and I knew we would have a fair rare night. The event night was held in Glasgow a the Double Tree Hilton Hotel and they fair know how to host an event! Creative Oceanic team were brilliant and the night was underway with Gina McKie at the mic I could feel the night was going to be brilliant! 

I was proud as punch of Moray Businesses, in 2020 there was only 4 of us at the Wedding Awards and this year there was a great 14 of us. The North East of Scotland area between Aberdeen and Inverness did exceptionally well. The night started strong with QS Digital Video taking the prize of Videographer of the Year, Dream Events by Sarah taking Event Decorator of the Year and Paul T took the coveted DJ of the Year to name a few of the winners from this area to steal the show. 

I was then absolutely delighted to take the Photographer of the Year Award for the North Region. The competition was so high that it was such an honour to be able to accept the award! The competition is first nominated by the public then we have to submit supporting evidence to a judging panel. To win an award in a category with photographers whose work I follow and adore is just a dream come true! I'm still on cloud 9! So all in all it was a fantastic night and I cant wait for next year already! 

Lastly I have a massive thanks to give, that is to each and every one of my couples that chose me to help celebrate their day by letting me capture the happiest day of their lives. I wouldn't be even in this prestigious category or get to do the job I love if it wasn't for you! I hope that all the memories I capture are looked back at with smiles. After all once the dust has settled sometimes photos are all we have left of the best times of our lives. So massive THANKYOU to you all
