Awards and Aspirations
As part of my on-going development, I continue to invest in training, mentoring and learning. I'm an active member of several world-renowned photographic bodies, which deliver training via in-person and digital seminars, workshops, conferences, podcasts and competitions.
I believe that regularly entering top level competitions has really helped me to challenge myself, push my creative boundaries and keep my work fresh. Competing alongside the world's best wedding photographers is a fantastic learning tool, always humbling and aspirational. And although winning is not my sole motivation for participating, I admit I am a competitive person, and it's always amazing when it happens!
I am proud to have recently acheived professional awards and accolades with the following organisations:
