An Award Winning Photograph
I’m not one to blow my own trumpet for 8th place, but as this is an International competition, it doesn’t seem so bad!
The International Wedding Photojournalists Association said this about my photograph from Joanne and Rich’s wedding at Thainstone House Hotel near Aberdeen:
“JUDGES COMMENTS: One of my very favorite photographs. What a terrific moment, excellent composition and use of light that together capture the ambiance of the place and a child’s perspective of the event.”

Joanne and Richard’s Wedding
Joanne and Rich got married at Thainstone House Hotel, just outside Aberdeen. When I first arrived and met Joanne’s two small and cute nephews who were to be page boys, I thought she might be upstaged. But I needn’t have worried! The bride was her glamourous self, and the weather was perfect for an outdoor reception. Joanne was suitably embarrassed by her fathers revelations of her youth, although the speeches were too much for one young guest who decided to sleep instead.
The day was rounded off by a ceilidh and a rousing rendition of Auld Lang Syne.
