3 Silver Awards at the APPA awards

Recently, I was honoured by having 3 of my images awarded with a silver award at the Australian Professional Photography Awards. I have never entered any images before and it was quite mindblowing for me that the first time I enter I come back with this result. I had considered entering before, but I was too chicken to!

The first image was taken at Alex & Danika’s Wedding, which took place about a year ago in Armidale at St Peters Cathedral. This moment was quite special when the bride’s grandfather (or Poppy as they call him) called his newly married granddaughter over for a photo. He was very proud and obviously very excited to be taking a photo of her on her wedding day!

The next image that won a silver award was this image of Mick & Terri at their wedding last year.  It was quite incredible having the two Alpacas (or Llamas, or whatever they are!) pose so perfectly for us!

This image of grandparents is from Nick & Emily’s Wedding which was a sweet little moment that I happened to capture.
