1500 Photography

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

I am delighted to confirm that we have had 2 shots chosen at this years Master Photographer of the Year awards. Shots from Victoria & Darrens wedding and Amanda’s Trash the Dress shoot have been selected to be judged against the very best photography in Britain and will feature on the “Wall of Fame”

This is a huge honour for us and hopefully provides our clients with the assurance that 1500 Photography is maintaining its position as one of the leading wedding photographers in the country.

The Master Photography Awards are the most prestigious awards for photography in the UK and feature the cream of today’s photographic talent and the winners will be announced on the 17th October.

So you might have seen a very similar shot to this recently (here)

Lee-Ann and Kieran not only scooped the 1500 Photography – Wedding Shot of the Year 2008, but also have now picked up a digital camera courtesy of Kodak.

Their shot, taken at Glenskirlie Castle in October last year, is one of the shots we have in this years “Kodak Wedding Photographer of the Year”. By getting their images into the final 10 shots, Lee-Ann and Kieran and Jason and Loretta will receive a Kodak digital camera and the chance of winning £1000 should their image go all the way.
