VOWS Awards Nominee and VOWS Awards Ceremony

Long time not update, sorry !

We will be sharing lots and lots of weddings with you over the coming months but first we would like to share with you some news on a recent success. Thanks to our wonderful bride and grooms we were nominated for a VOWS award this year.

VOWS stands for Voted Outstanding Wedding Supplier and is an awards body set up to recognise companies that offer excellent customer service within the Scottish wedding industry.

The awards are voted for by recently wedded couples through marriage or civil partnership and this year out of 14,000 nominations, 1500 Photography was included in the top 10 photographers in the country. On the night itself we sadly didnt scoop the big one but to be nominated in such an incredibly competitive field was a huge achievement and one that we are very proud of.

I would like to thank all our fantastic couples of 2012/13 who cast a vote for us - you guys are amazing. Thank you

Here I am with Gillian and fellow nominees Victoria and Richard from All Dressed Up. It was nice to know that two wedding suppliers from the Loch Lomond area (small world fact : Victoria and I actually went to primary school together) had been recognised.

Scottish Wedding Photographer of the Year - Stuart Wood

Scottish Wedding Photographer of the Year

Amazed, Proud, Delighted......

All these and more just about sum up how I felt about picking up the title of  'Scottish Wedding Photographer of the Year' at this years MPA event at Dunblane Hydro. We picked up some of the best possible awards for our business. First we won 'Classic Wedding Photographer of the Year' with this shot of Victoria & Darren

We then picked up a couple of merit awards for our shots from Amanda & James' wedding and Stephanie & Grahams

We then won the award that we really wanted -

"Best Complete Wedding" with Victoria & Darren's wedding

With the above body of work we were then crowned

"Scottish Wedding Photographer of the Year"

I cannot begin to tell you how thrilled I am to have finally got my hands on this trophy. I owe a huge debt of thanks to Victoria and Darren who chose me to shoot their wedding, the wedding staff at Cameron House who are always very professional and understand the importance of photography on the wedding day and most of all.....Ms Price.

My other half who has supported me, assisted me and encouraged me from day one of 1500 Photography. I could not have got this award without her - thank you Gillian x
