Classic Wedding winner 2009

I'm just back from the MPA Scottish Region Awards 2009 and I'm delighted to announce that I won the Classic Wedding photographer of the year : )

Here is my winning image.

Why choose a MPA qualified photographer?

I have always wanted to mention this and thought that it would be a good opportunity to write something on my blog.

Why choose a member of the MPA as your wedding photographer?

Well, unfortunately there is not a governing body regarding photography. I really wish there was! However, we have the MPA (Master Photographers Association).

I look at the MPA as an organisation that gives quality assurance to the public via qualifications and awards.

Apart from this quality assurance, the MPA is the only UK organisation for full-time photographers.

I just thought that when choosing a photographer I would recommend that you ask about qualifications. There are several other organisations including the SWPP and BIPP and they also provide qualification opportunities for photographers.

Thanks

Michelle and Stuart

I recently had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Stuart and Michelle.

The wedding was at Maryculter House.

I was really chuffed with the image of Stuart and Gran. I think that it really caught the moment.

Just back from London

Last week I enjoyed a trip to London to speak at the SWPP convention.

The convention was swarming with thousands of photographers so it was quite an experience meeting lots of new people and also catching up with friends.

Images of me in action above.. : )
