Held annually, the Awards includes presentations from industry leaders.

This year I entered three images.

Image Entry #1

Young Layla from her sitter session at Camelia Gardens. This set was photographed in natural light. We found a mossy area amongst the beautiful pink Camelia flowers. Scoring 77 – Highly Commended. Print entry.

Image entry #2

Jessie & Adam during their location photographs along Fingal Bay Beach, before heading into their reception venue at Saltwater Restaurant, Fingal Bay 

Their warm cuddle warmed my heart, I knew I had to enter this one. Scoring 75 – Highly Commended – Print entry.

Image entry #3

Last year, I had entered Kirsty on her own in this same location and feel. The judges commented that they wanted to see what the bride was looking at… So I entered the image with Kirsty’s missing groom, Harrison. It scored one point away from Silver, later learning from my feedback, that a better crop was required to lift it to the next level.

Scoring 79 – Highly Commended as a Digital entry.
