PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR 2009

Neil was over the moon yesterday to named UK Travel Photographer of the Year by the Master Photographers Association, the only organisation in the UK for full time professional photographers.

The photograph, of a beach at Hikkaduwa in Sri Lanka was taken during a quiet moment late in the afternoon, whiclst Neil was in the country to photograph a 'Destination Wedding'.

'It is always a great honour to win such a coveted title and it was even more special as i originally took it as a photo for myself. To be recognised by other fantastic professional photographers makes it even more special' 
I now have something to live up to for next year to try and better this and being the MPA / Aceboni 3 from 1 weding photographer of the year 2009.

Philly and Peter at The Gherkin

Philly and Peter married on 3rd October at the wonderful Gherkin in the City of London www.searcys.co.uk.  A few images are shown here with many more elsewhere on the blog.

Although a dull day weather wise the wedding was very contemporary, matching the superb setting with Philly allowing me time to capture some amazing images around the City, from The Royal Exchange to delapidated buildings off Commercial Road to Leadenhall market.

The bride and groom were ferried around in a traditional white london cab whilst Ines Telling the videographer www.visavideo.co.uk and i went in a black cab.  Ines is great fun to work with and captures some wonderful footage of the day.

 

An amazing day, working with an amazing team, including The Soho Hotel where bride and groom both got ready www.firmdale.com and hairdresser harriet White  harrietwhiteuk@hotmail.co.uk.
